Finding Birth Records in Western Australia Mills and Smith

[Mills1960]

How does one go about finding out all the children registered to a couple in Western Australia? I am looking for children of Oswald Thomas Preston Mills and Ada Annie Smith (from 1913-1932?).  Some may be registered in Swan and at least one in Perth.   The records I am seeing don't give parents names to be able to check. At the moment I think I can only guess the most likely and then apply for copies of birth certificates.

The extra identifying details are not given in the indexes as they may still be living.  You won't be allowed to purchase a birth certificate less than 100 years old.

Hi ,

Have you looked at WW2 Australian soldiers records ?
There are 3 records showing on the index with father Oswald Mills.

Also a WW2 record for Oswald Thomas Preston Mills Service Number - W17138 , born 1893 ,  Next of Kin - Ada Mills.

Hmm you could see more from the initial search.  Search for Robert MILLS  here http://www.westannouncements.com.au/obituaries/thewest-au/ (and see the memoriam 31-12-2011)

Thank you for your help. Did find the boys who had military records (what a great source of information) but tracking the girls is a bit more difficult.

I think the easiest way would be to obtain the death notices for Oswald and Ada.

You know when they died

State Library of W.A. has an ask a librarian service

But I believe they charge for the service now.  (Pity you don't  live in W.A and have free access or know anyone who can do lookups for you?)  It would still be cheaper than buying W.A. certs which are quite expensive.
