Title: Harold William Johnson
Post by: craigbarwick01 on Sunday 13 May 18 05:25 BST (UK)
Hoping someone can help find records of children for Harold William Johnson and Alice May Dunn. I believe they were married in 1907 in Melbourne , they had a daughter Elsie May Johnson. Not sure about the next one though, Harold Murray Johnson born in 1912. Haven't had much luck with any luck with accurate marriage or birth dates. Any help appreciated.
Cheers
Craig

Unless you can find something in the personal notices on TROVE you will need to purchase the marriage and birth certificates to find the complete dates.

You can search for yourself on

EDIT to improve bad wording ::)

I mean- Is the probate administration file for this death (below) rather than the wife of Harold.

Thanks to all for their input, I have been following the links and may have a reason for the name change from Rae Phillis to Phillis Jean. I traced Harold and Rae till 1943 electoral roles, then there is a marriage in 1945 Harold Murray to Phillis Jean Elliot and then in 1946 , Rae Phillis Johnson to Ronald Frank Jenkins, couldn't be many Rae Phillis Johnsons, maybe there is a divorce, assuming it's the same Harold Murray in 1945
