William Archibald and Margaret Ross Gordon Archibald deaths NSW

[Wendy2305]

Hi I am looking for the deaths of William and Margaret they left London in August 1927 on the Benalla for Australia with their 3 children (who may still be living) 2 daughters and 1 son

William was born 27 May 1894 in Farnell Angus Scotland to John Archibald and Isabel Dorward
Margaret was born 9 Jan 1899 in Menmuir Angus Scotland to David Anderson and Alice Gordon

On Ancestry I have found the WW2 records of their son and electoral register records living in Riverina NSW in 1943-49 and Kingsford-Smith NSW 1958-1963 and the WW2 record of their youngest daughter but not been able to view them as I only have UK access. I have been unable to find anything about their oldest daughter

Thank you Wendy

Margaret was on the electoral roll in West Wyalong District in 1972 so she probably lived there until her death. Two others with the same surname name are living with her. There isn't an online listing for the local cemeteries that I can find, but there is a CD with the details - someone else may have this information.

Thank you Westward just wondering if I have the wrong parents for Margaret now will need to check that out

[Westward]

I didn't notice the parents until after I had posted the death for Margaret. The name seems fairly unique so I thought it was probably her. The death certificate may have the names wrong - her husband had died much earlier and the children may not have known the names of their grandparents. I would think her birth/marriage certificate would be a better guide. The marriage (1919) is easy to find on ScotlandsPeople if you have any credits.

There are a couple of bits/pieces about the family on trove (our newspaper archives) - I haven't found much information - you might fare better. Use the advanced search

http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/search?adv=y

select the newspaper West Wyalong from the NSW list of papers &  search for family names. I did find 2 of the children listed in grade 1 at Ungarie (town where they lived) Public School in 1929.

If you search the NSW BDM records as linked above
https://familyhistory.bdm.nsw.gov.au/lifelink/familyhistory/search?0

you will find the marriage of the  daughters in 1940 and 1946
and the son in 1939

Thank you again the marriage certificate is on the list for the next time I go on Scotlands people
Found the school notice and possibly something else an notice in 1946 from possibly the son late of Ungarie saying that he is not responsible for any debts contracted in his name without his written authority.
