Scales Family, perhaps of Victoria State!
« on: Saturday 25 August 18 12:02 BST (UK) »
I am looking for a relation of William Alexander Scales and Minnie Louise Scales 1894-1980, married in 1912, originally from Gellibrand, Yarraville. Both are buried in Footscray Cemetery, Victoria.

I am writing a feature about Albert Aloysius Smith ( Trader Horn ) and would be grateful for help and assistance please!

Thx

The children of William Joseph Scales and Minnie Louise Scales. William Alexander 1913-1986, Eleanor Mary 1922-2011, Veronica 1925-1998 and Louis Mario Joseph Scales 1926-2014 who I believe died in British Columbia, Canada.

Trying to locate the children above.

Thx

Hi  mikegunnill
Perhaps it would help if you were to explain what you mean by "locate"
Clearly. if all are deceased, you are not meaning you wish to contact them.

You have their birth and death years. You have given them.

What else is it you are seeking about  them?

Thank you for your reply.

I would like to contact any living descendant of those I mentioned. Clearly I am not trying to talk to the dead.

I wondered if a descendant saw this message, they would be willing to provide family information. This is so useful when writing.

Mike
