Hello All
I'm trying to trace my grandfather's brothers, James Crawford Green (b. 1910 - registered Lochgelly, Fife) and Thomas Crawford Green (b.1911 - registered Kinglassie, Fife). They left on the 'Baradine' , bound for Sydney, in 1927. They never came back and I think letters between them stopped after a few short years. I would love to know what happened to them once they arrived in Oz
Could someone please suggest how I might start going about this - first steps, and all that? :)
Many thanks
Alex

His ashes were scattered.
He had first shown on the Victorian Electoral roll in 1949, having been registered in NSW until 1949.
I can type up his electoral roll details if of interest. Let me know.
