Australia / Lookup request William (Billy) McKinney, Brisbane
« on: Saturday 02 December 23 17:07 GMT (UK)  »
I am trying to find out if Billy is still alive.  He was known to be alive 4/5 years ago and has lived in Wellington Point, and Allan Terrace in Brisbane.  His email address is no longer working and we are unsure of what may have happened. He did have a sister and a cousin at least.  Was at school with my wife, Evelyn McGregor, in Busby, Scotland in the 1950's. Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry folks I do respond to posts, but I have been sick again with a recurring problem.  I do deeply appreciate all you have done and, indeed, did not think I would ever obtain as much help as you all of you have given me.  The one name not mentioned in that news item was my cousin as the people originally involved were not able to locate all the relatives of the crew of W5000.  It is an immense relief to know such fine detail of the last day of Gordon MacKenzie and his friends.  Words are not enough I know, but I do thank all very sincerely and this does close off my request.   Regards, Robert Allan

First an apology. I should have said that Google has already been tried.  I got the gist of some of it that way, but much just does not make sense. I have attached the original article. This was a great revelation for me. My cousin G.W. MacKenzie was posted missing on Aug. 3 1943 on a lancaster bombing raid on Hamburg. Only in the last few weeks have I discovered what happened and where his remains lie.  This newspaper page was sent to me as part of the info. that was available. Since I how live in Canada access is obviously more difficult.  Thanks for all the help thus far.

Stirlingshire / Re: Possible to prove which Robert is the right Robert?

Have a look at my Family Tree. -  Allan Family Tree Mar 2012 AB.   My user name is allanr 48. Look for Robert Nimmo, born 1728 in Polmont.  You will find him married to Elizabeth Marshall. I do believe everything is correct.  Don't be afraid of "Bethia". It was the contracted name for Elizabeth and is sometimes spelled Bethea as well. The name is peppered all though my tree.

Europe / Re: W.W. 11 Crash site Memorial.

My sincere thanks to Cath and Karen.  I now have, I believe, a full and detailed idea of exactly how my my cousin died. The photographs are excellent.  Thank you too for the map.  It has proved most valuable.  It has been a long time, but well worth the wait. 

This easily closes this question. 

Thank you both once again
