Harry WILSON - WA

[pottydotty]

Hello Again,
How come I can sit here for hours pouring over all the Au. gov. sites. and come up with zilch, then I ask a and look what turns up   

Jenn, you have got me thinking - as I can't find his birth cert. in UK perhaps he was born in Ireland. His father, Harry was in the Royal Marines and could have been posted there.  Little job for tomorrow!!

Cando, There are two marriages that could be his - he just COULD have gone to Freemantle on a trip, work or holiday and met the girl of his dreams   

My heavens!!! If we keep on like this we might find he had children and I could honestly say I have Aussie rellies!!

Thanks to both of you for your help.

I wonder if the plaque would give you more information.  There is a photo service

As Jenn mentioned, a death notice or funeral notice from the newspaper may give more information.

You could make a request for a search of the newspaper to

as you have the date of death.

Hello,

Jenn, I think you are right about Charles Henry being born in Ireland. I have just been searching The Marines movements around that time and they were certainly at a big naval base at Castletown, County Cork during W1. So Harry could have been there. I have found a birth for Charles Henry Apr/Jun 1916 unfortunately they don't give mother's name so I will have to send for the cert.

Also, I have written to WA nespapers and see what they come up with. If I feel sure that I have the right chap I will send for his death cert and see if he had any children.

Thanks for your help - I'm getting nearer those Aussie rellies

Unfortunately death certificates are not available for 25 years after death Western Australia.
