 I would google the Australian Airforce Association.

Thier membership application form has a place for badge number. So I expect thaey should be able to cross reference it.

So upsetting and frustrating when a novel has such basic historical facts wrong, it confuses people who have no knowledge at all of Australian History.

Wiggy you are right the exiles 1844-1849 to Victoria one of whom was an acestor of mine were only "convicts"  sent to Victoria they were considered free on their arrival.

hi Merlin ,

Lots in Trove on John Charles Buzzard he was a banker and died aged 38 with 20 service to his bank.

Lots on George Buzzard and  on Thomas Meredith Buzzard son of Charles Buzzard and the births and marriages of them and their children.

None seems relevent to William Buzzard in WA. It is intersting to note that teh majority of BUzards seem to be from Victoria and WA.

Hi

http://www.mcb.wa.gov.au/Index.aspx

Elizabeth BUZZARD  1936 aged 84 in Anglican section in Karrakatta Cemetery

there are also several interesting  interments at Karrakatta
 
Patrick MILLAR BUZZARD aged 17 1969 in RC section
Jean BUZZARD aged of Prahran Victoria  1968  possibly mother of the above.

suggesting a connection with Millar Buzzard perhaps.

Frederick Stephen Winsor aged 67 in 1977 there is a grantee listed for this interment grant expires 2nd of July this year.

Frederick Alfred Winsor aged 73 in 1960 grantee named but grant expired
Elizabeth Winsor 67 in 1956 same grave as the above (the grantee of the above grave is also buried at Karrakatta.)

A query to the cemetery may also be useful Tony.

Trove has been useful and this might help as it has decendants names and suburbs:
BUZZARD.-On October 28, 1936, at Railway, Queen's Park, Elizabeth Buzzard, loved grandmother -of Mr and Mrs. A. Bettenesehi, of Wiluna. ,

BUZZARD.-On October 28, at Queen's Park. Elizabeth. the beloved mother of Frederick A. Winsor, mother-in-law of Elizabeth, fond grandma of Leah (Mrs.. Humphry, Queens Park), Fred, Daisy (Mrs. Betteneechi, Wiluna), Mark, Charlie, Connie, Edna, George, Dick and Lorna Winsor, great-grandma of Ray, Teddie and Frankie Humphry; aged 85 years. inserted by-her loving son and daughter-in law and grandchildren -

lots of info re Millar Buzzard family nothing to connect with your William Buzzard yet.

these articles suggests this William Buzzard was a returned service man however I cannot find any records for him in the archives from their files I think that they are referring to MILLAR Buzzard not WILLIAM Buzzard
