Title: Edward Vincent Walters
Post by: Nigs438 on Tuesday 05 September 23 16:24 BST (UK)
I need some assistance with finding records for a second cousin. Edward Vincent Walters b 20 Jul 1941in Freebridge Lynn, Norfolk, father Edward Lewis Walters b 17 Feb 1918 in Crowborough, Sussex and mother Muriel Thurza Hudson b 23 Feb 1918 in Freebridge Lynn also. Edward Vincent Walters married  in Peterborough in Jul 1964 in Peterborough. Edward Lewis Walters divorced his first wife and married Elvira Seidler b 23 Jul 1927 in Austria and on 17 Mar 1953 Edward, Elvira and their new son James emigrated to Auckland. New Zealand where the remaining family still live. It is thought that Edward Vincent Walters died on a date unknown, in Perth Australia. I cannot find any emigration records for Edward Vincent going to Australia or New Zealand, as it would make sense that he went there first, nor any shipping manifests immigration records, census, death, probate or other records of him leaving the UK and arriving in either Aus or NZ. Any help anyone can give would be much appreciated. There is an Edward Vincent Walters in Repton, Yorkshire but this is not the one subject of this request.

There is a record of an Edward V arriving in Australia in 1972.  Intended address in Australia was going to be 'Orana' 407 Marrickville Road, Dulwich Hill, Sydney.

This is from Find My Past Australia Records.

Added: His date of birth matches that given by Nigs438

For interest - "Orana" at this time (1962-1976) was a hostel, many of whose occupants were "ten pound poms" who received free accommodation for a week.
