years

Doesn't give any clues

If that's the correct Andrew MACKIE (married to Norah) then here is a marriage of a son in 1951

Hi Rosball
Yes that's the same Andrew who married Nora Francis Lucy Smith
I seen this information  on ancestry but had no facts
This is why I was trying to confirm the tie between Catherine and Andrew
The facts you are giving me are fantastic
Thanks once again the service you and everyone else gives which is really really appreciated

Here are more death notices for son Donald (or Andrew Donald) in 1946

adding : his divorce from Merlyn http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article51757135 And http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article76016342 ! (so awful)
and his burial http://www2.mcb.wa.gov.au/NameSearch/details.php?id=KB00080144

And his marriage was in Victoria so can be found here in 1940 https://online.justice.vic.gov.au/bdm/indexsearch.doj

It's so very sad to think that at the age of 23 he had served in the Air force and the army, had married and had a son then a heart-breaking divorce.
