Sorry I should have explained I am on ancestry but can't seem to locate a census, marriage or death for Martha after Richards death.I'll keep at it to see what I can come up with. Might have better luck going through her family's maiden name and trying to see if she relocated.
Thanks again for your reply.

Hi,
I am looking for some details with regards to a relative who was married in South Kirkby, York.I currently have the marriage banns for Richard Elvidge, born 1802 , Yorkshire West Riding , father Thomas Elvidge.He married Martha Ward, in South Kirkby, banns 10th of March 1823.Unfortunately Richard passed away on 30th June 1824.The only child to this marriage being my ancestor Sarah Elvidge, born 29th May 1823.I was wondering how I could find out how Richard died and if Martha remarried?To date my search efforts have not turned up anything.Though my knowledge of English resources is not great!!Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.I reside in Australia so rely on online records at this stage and visiting records offices in the area is not an option.
With thanks.
Smiley.

Thankyou to both Janine and Carol for your imput.The person you located in Ancestry.com Janine would be me and I'm sorry, I should have mentioned my tree on that site and given a brief description of what I actually have thus far for that family. I was hoping however I might meet someone else with similar family links with the view of swappping additional information. I am still familiarising myself with all that is available online with regards to genealogy records and it certainly is a huge task.My favourites file is full of handy references to date and I just keep adding to it!! I have used Scotlands people before Carol but I wanted to exhaust all other avenues first and thought more experienced researchers might have a few clues about sites to access before I took the step of purchasing more credits.Once again, sincere thanks  to both of you for your replies and advice.Cheers. Erika

Thanks Judith,
 I did see that entry in the Electoral records and I had not come across this type of file listing before "emergency housing".Have you seen this term?I assumed it meant housing commision accommodation, a term I am more familiar with.
Sue your comments about the names I had noted.I did see on the Victorian discs that David's father is listed as David Malcolm Hamilton.On the Inquest discs and the death certificate the David I was seeking is listed as David Gordon Hamilton.I did not get the certificate for Cecilia however as I was looking into this situation for one of the daughters who was sent to the Ballarat orphanage.She knew the name Hamilton and thought that both the names Gordon and Cecila figured in the mix somewhere, so when I looked at the inquest listing I knew this was them.I thought if there was going to be any additional information regarding the mother's maiden name and children listing it would be with the father's details.Thankyou also for the war record link.When searching for records I access another site, but this link you provided is much easier to negotiate and I will definitely use it again.I will as you suggest also look into Cecilia's family in Western Australia.I hope they have some data readily available online.The entries at Springvale were quite a find and I was rather surprised when they came up so readily.Once again my thanks to you both for your time and assistance.Just got your new message Judith as I was sending this off, good to have that explanation about Camp Pell.Got the Edith Crowley and David Malcolm Hamilton from the discs at the library.Will try and see If I can identify any of the relatives who contributed family notices to the newspaper.Another clue about relatives may be that the person I know said one of the older sisters who was not sent to the orphanage travelled  frequently to Dimboola in Victoria .Could just be a coincidence rather than anything significant.The plot thickens!!Cheers.Erika.
