I have a 1957 telephone directory of Western Australia and would be willing to do look ups for anyone interested. It covers Perth and all towns in W.A.

Cheers

James Mclean or McClean went to Aus in the late 40s early fifties and was never heard from again.  I think his middle name was kenneth but may not have used it.  It is believed he settled in Adelaide though no one is really that sure.  I would be grateful if you would take a peek through your directory and see if there is a listing.  Most grateful in advance.

Hi Bodge,

Jenny has already replied to this. Her Directory is for Western Australia, not South Australia.

Hi Sandgroper

Trying to trace a childhood friend of my mother - this person (mother Grace Milligan, father Samuel Milligan) who may have been living in Subiaco in 1957.

I'd appreciate if you'd let me know if you can find a listing for any of the above in that year.

Tks

Hi Sandgroper

Trying to trace a childhood friend of my mother - Maureen Milligan (mother Grace Milligan, father Samuel Milligan) who may have been living in Subiaco in 1957.

I'd appreciate if you'd let me know if you can find a listing for any of the above in that year.

Rootschat has a policy about seeking information about living people.
http://www.rootschat.com/help/posting_guide.php#living

Her parents married in 1930 and divorced in 1946 so the 1957 listing would be possibly be in the name of Grace MILLIGAN only.

Grace lived at 64 Subiaco Road Subiaco on the 1949-1968 electoral rolls.

Her father and his second wife's [Muriel Joyce] burial records
http://www2.mcb.wa.gov.au/NameSearch/search.php

Do you know if the daughter had a second given name and if so would you like to pm it to me. 

I suggest you remove the name of the daughter from your post.

Cheers  :)

My apologies everyone.  I forgot about the policy.  Will ensure I don't make the same mistake again.
