Try  http://www.whitepages.com.au.  click on "residential" and "Queensland" and "regional area"    Enter surname

You will find all those 4 names. Look for postcodes starting with 481  for the Townsville/Ravenswood area. Townsville has many suburbs.  You might write to some of the people you find listed, as they may well be related.

Hi Mamma,
Not knowing any dates of your persons of interest, I had a quick look at one of my favorite sites

http://www. naa.gov.au

The govt. archives which holds among other information, service records.  When next of kin is listed, you can get a good little 'lead'

There are a number of Malpass references, some of whom are born in Townsville
I also saw lots of Felthams too, even an Edward.
Good luck, Sue

To those who were kind enough to reply.  I have been through white pages and no success and then I tried the NAA side and got truly lost.  Sue, which section did you see Felthams or Malpass?

Hi Mama

Charles Joseph Malpass QX29446, born Townsville 31 Aug 1916, enlisted Home Hill, Next of kin Sylvia

Thomas Joseph Malpass QX48488, born Townsville 3 Feb 1924, enlisted Warwick, Next of kin Thomas

Thomas Henry Ellery born Charters Towers, enlisted Townsville, Next of kin John Ellery (this entry is digitised and you can read through it)

John Ellery Q130211, born 23 May 1901 Ravenswood, enlisted Townsville, Next of kin Maud Glendenning

These entries are from the National Archives site, just click on recordsearch, then click guest to search and enter the name in the search window. Hope you have better luck this time.  I only checked for these two surnames but you will probably find the others as well.

I know the Malpass Hotel in Ayr, it is backpackers accommodation, especially for the seasonal fruit and vegetable pickers who come to the Burdekin for work.

I could check for further dates for you when I next go to the library unless someone else on here has the QLD indexes.
