Hi,
I have the names of the parents, John Lyndon JONES (known as Lyn) and Helen Frances FAHY(v), and would like to find out if they had any children. Both of these parents have died. Is there any way that I could locate any possible children, please?
They married in 1961 in Burwood.
Thanks for any suggestions,
OzzieJoan

If either died in NSW, then the informant would have been asked to provide information about the deceased's marital status, and name the children of the marriage for the funeral director to register the death via NSW BDM.

May I please mention that Wollstonecraft is a suburb on the North Shore of Sydney. Bennelong is simply the name of a Federal Electorate, and in the 1970s, Wollstonecraft was within that electorate. Electoral boundaries can be altered on a regular basis by the Australian Electoral Commission, and are not usually recorded as part of a person's address. Wollstonecraft is no longer within the Bennelong electorate as the electoral boundaries have moved 'west'. Wollstonecraft is currently within North Sydney electorate.

Oh, so much wonderful information. I can't thank you all enough. And now I will get on and read it all and pass it on to his niece who knows so little about him and his family. In fact, she doesn't even know that he had children. She will be so excited when I get it all typed up and sent.
Again thank you all.

If you are typing it up, then leave out the following. It looks like it was just a coincidence that there was someone of the same name in Hobart:
"Is this Helen?
JONES Helen Frances see SMITH, Helen Frances Hobart Mercury 8-12-2007
SMITH Helen Frances Death notice 6-12-2007 Death 65 Hobart Mercury 8-12-2007
SMITH Helen Frances 65 Cremation 12-Dec-2007 last residence KINGSTON"
