Charles Moffatt
« on: Wednesday 31 May 17 21:57 BST (UK) »
My grandmothers brother  Charles James moffatt emigrated to Australia to Adelaide  between 1914 and 1917 with his wife Mary Elizabeth (nee Keeney) and son John Cyril who was born 1911. I have an address in Adelaide but unable to find them after a few years there. Wondering if they emigrated to another country. I would be grateful for any information about them. I did write to library in Adelaide but they were unable to help me after the first few years they seemed to have vanished.

There is a possible marriage for son in 1932 on Victorian BDM (with given names reversed).
And a divorce in 1942 http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article206822402

Am I on the right track Kathlyn?

I haven't time to type up all the electoral rolls however there was also a Cyril John who was a picture framer.

I think Ros has nailed it for you :)
