Hello, John was born 2.6.1914 NSW and died 12.09.1984 Hughendon Qld. I believe he married Nancy Marie Winifred Turnbull in 1939. NSW marriage index records Nancy re-marrying in 1966 to Alexander Marr. So it looks like a divorce took place at some point. Nancy Marr dies in 1995. Did John Louis ever remarry and did he have any children with Nancy. Any other info also welcome to try and build a picture. I do know the full history of John's parents etc.
Thanks
John

Hi Cupoflife, many thanks for info and links. I sent rosball a pm with a request and she has replied she will copy records for me. With regard to the newspaper article in 1995 are you able to send me a pm with the full names of J***** and P***** as I would need to sign up and send debit card details to view. If not don't worry.
