just checked not buried at Fawkner - Coburg
while name not on the list for Keilor Cemetery

may not cover that era

You may need Catherine Death certificate which you can order on line at
http://online.justice.vic.gov.au/servlet/IdxSearch?action=purchaseImage

you need rego number 15661 year 1976
at least that should say if son is alive - and with date of date of death and a address where living

Whoops sorry got mixed up it is definitely James I am looking for.  Robert was his natural father. Name Robert  Phillip Fowler, born in Scotland circa 1911, probably in Dundee - married Catherine Robertson in Dundee 21/12/1936 and died also in Dundee 28/12/1941.

Thanks

Yes  around 1937 as he was about the same age as my sister. I can't be more accurate than that at the moment, until I get back to Edinburgh and search at the Records Office

If you get order the death certificate for Catherine

you should know straight away if James was still alive - let me know the death date and I will look up the death notice

Just got Catherine's death certificate  - death date is 30th June 1976. It also gives  an address for James in East Keillor in 1976. . I will write to this address but of course he could well have moved since then. Do you know of a newspaper in which I could advertise to try to find James

Just realised from the notification of Catherine's death that James is still going by his own name  - Fowler. so he is James Fowler, not James Duncan

Hi there
well you have narrowed it down a lot
