Wife for Peter Howard PORTER please!
« on: Thursday 23 October 08 04:53 BST (UK) »
The Sydney Morning Herald had the death notice of my great uncles son, Peter Howard PORTER, in which he mentioned his wife Veronica, and daughter Barbara.  Peter was born in NSW 1931 and died in 1982 but I can find no record of his wife and daughter as the approximate dates of marriage, and birth are not included on NSW BMD. Can anyone help me find them please? Also mentioned was a brother Douglas Henry PORTER, who I know was born 1933. also in NSW, but again, I can find no trace of him.
At the time of Peters death he was said to be living in Duffy ? St, Lagoona?
Thankyou,
Pauline

Hi Jenn,
Yes I've seen those and will start ringing them tonight - I have made a number of calls already re. Peter Howard , but only succeeded in finding an elderly lady who I thought might have been his sister-in-law, but wasn't! >:(
Oh well - think I'll buy Telstra shares.
Thanks for your help,
Pauline

Thanks CrazyRobert - I had found the death notice, but it was his wife Veronica and daughter Barbara, that I am having trouble finding. His marriage, and his daughters birth are outside the dates available on the NSW BMD site unfortunately.
Thanks again though,

Pauline

Have you copies of his marriage in 1952 to Patricia Joan Mills and her death in 1967?

17432/1952      PORTER      PETER HOWARD      MILLS      PATRICIA JOAN      PARRAMATTA

1881/1967      PORTER      PATRICIA JOAN      MATHEW      FLORENCE      SYDNEY   

The death certificate should at least name any children.

What were his parentds namaes? and haave you found their death registrations yet? One of these certificates should give you their childrens names ages and if they were lovong or dead at the time of the parents death.

good luck

the  death certificates  in  NSW are only available at  this stage  up to 1977  so Pauline cannot access it  at  this  time and she has no  idea as to when his second wife Veronica wife died  ( if she is dead  that is )

A copy of his first wife's death certificate will show if  they had any children.
