Death in 1966 Australia - John Francis (Frank) BOURKE

[mavistee]

hi i am trying to trace the death details of the above relative
All i know is that he died in Australia in July 1966 ( the date i found in our local newspaper here in ireland)
He immigrated to Australia with his father John Francis Bourke in 31/10/1925.  They landed in Brisbane. They left sisters in Ireland.  John Junior was in the British Army in Ireland.
His father died in 1926 and is buried in Charter Towers.  there is no one else buried with him.
Father: John Francis Bourke
Mother: Mary Elizabeth Connolly
Born 1892 in Ireland - Kilbrittain
Just want to know where he is buried and if he was married

BOURKE John   


You can purchase this certificate which should note his marital status and place of burial.

The C4527 in the registration number indicates it was a death in the country, which could be as close to Brisbane as Gold Coast or Ipswich, in 1966.  If you wish to only know the exact date of death and you already know July, you could go to the BDM website Cando has given you and put in dates until it confirms which one.
If you need to know more you'll need to buy a certificate.
I note Cando hasn't given parent names which indicates these are not on the certificate, as they would show on the index.

Hi mavistee

There is a possible marriage in 1937 of John BOURKE to Elizabeth CHANDLER. She died in 1951 aged 44. Her obituary: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article187690055
