Birth Record - Margaret Alice DAVIES
« on: Wednesday 15 April 09 17:56 BST (UK) »
Please could anyone advice me on how to look up a birth in Australia.  My adopted sisters grandmother was born in Australia in 1923. We dont know exactly where.
She may have also been married in Australia too.
Can anyone help.  I have come to a dead end already.
Thank you in advance.
Ali

Hi Ali,
Where was her child ...who was to be your adopted sister'smother .... born please.

If she is still living, please do not put her name on the board.

The mother's  place of birth may help us locate Margaret Alice.

Do you know the name of the man Margaret Alice married?

Perhaps  you  may  need  to  work  backwards.

I she is deceased  when and where did  she die?

AS Sue said  if she is still living you  shouldn't put her details on  the board

Sue,

Is your Alice, Ali's Margaret?

Or, have I missed something?

Margaret Alice was married to Eric Sawyer in this country and died in this country.  I have sent for the marriage certificate.  I have the death certificate and this just states that she was born in Australia.

Her daughter, my sisters mother is still alive and so no names will be mentioned.

Thank you
Ali

I dont know when margaret came to UK but it was between birth and her marriage in 1942.  Is it possible with this minimal information to find her on a passenger list?

Thank you
Ali

Hi Ali,
Thank you for the additional information.

Australian birth indexes are available state by state and although there are different cut off years in the different states, none goes as late as 1923.

I do not have shipping departure information though possibly other chatters may help you.

But, as you have said, she may have marriedand so  the search will be tricky indeed.

Not much help  >:(

Births are online to 1932 in the state of Western Australia
http://www.bdm.dotag.wa.gov.au/_apps/pioneersindex/default.aspx

There is actually one for a Margaret DAVIES in 1923, but no Alice as a 2nd given name.

You mention that she married Eric SAWYER in the UK.  What was the date of their marriage?  It will narrow period to  search the incoming passenger records of those arriving in the UK.

Cheers
Cando
