Marriage Look-up - Alberton West, Victoria
« on: Sunday 25 October 15 18:36 GMT (UK) »
Peter Gordon Taylor (b. 1928 Vancouver) emigrated to Australia, possibly Melbourne, from Scotland between 1947-1950 and married Dorothy May Soderholm in 1951 +/- 1 year.  These are the only details I have which have been taken from Peter's death certificate.  Any help would be very much appreciated.

And to save searching for his death in Australia.

Is there some kind person who could provide me with a headstone photo of Peter Gordon Taylor, Area 4 Block B Lot No 363 at Waikaraka Cemetery (I already have a note of the inscription).  Also, because of the circumstances of the death, I am hoping that there may have been a newspaper article relating to the car accident which happened on 15 Nov 1953 between Tamaki Drive, Mission Bay and Manukua Road, Epsom.

The marriage indexes in Victoria only extend to 1945. You can apply for a Victorian certificate if the marriage occurred more than 60 years [ie to 1954] but only if both parties are deceased.

There is no central BDM Registry in Australia.

There are four files for Otto Harold SODERHOLM at the National Archives which have been digitised - his naturalization and war service files including a court martial.
