Harry BROADHURST of Brisbane, Australia
« on: Sunday 28 December 08 22:58 GMT (UK) »
I am trying to trace Harry Acton Broadhurst, born in 1915, who emigrated from
England to Australia in 1949.  I believe that he settled in Brisbane.  I should like to find out if he married, had any children  and whether he is still alive.

Thanks for your reply.  I have already viewed two of the three files you mentioned.  There seems to be a restriction on the third one.   

Regarding the BMD indexes, as I do not live in Australia I am unable to get to look at the fiches and can only see electronic copies.

Regards

Thanks for the info.  Unfortunately there is no listing for H.A.Broadhurst. 

Could you tell me how I might access the electoral rolls for Queensland.

Regards

Hello,

Harry was my great uncle, and I regret to say that he passed away about six years ago.  I will ask my mother as she has more details.

Can I ask how you knew him?
