Hi Trubody,

Are you looking for a particular family by the name?

If so, what has been your starting point.?  I can see of course that you are of the family yourself.

If you are hoping for help with a family tree, could you tell us what information you already have.

On the other hand, perhaps you are just wanting to list Trubody 's  in Australia.  In which case the Directory is indeed the best bet.

I run a website - www.trubody.co.uk - that I have set up to log every Tru(e)body that has ever lived. There is a page dedicated to Australia which inclludes all the data that I have so far collected.
Unlike the UK, Australia doesn't seem to have an open system of searching for BMD like FindMyPast. My hope is to find an Australian Tru(e)body who is also interested in the family name and its members who will help me complete the trees that I have started so far.
I am not looking for personal info, just names, places and dates although it would be nice to discover what was the reason behind the patriarchs emigrating to Aus in the first place.

Each state has it's own BDM. See resources section for links. Most are free to search.

There are several trees on Ancestry with Australian Tru(e)body's.

Hi

The TRUBODY name appears mostly in the state of New South Wales.

Search here for cemetery records, which include headstone incscriptions,  for Thomas, Anna, George, William and Hester TRUBODY at the Old Wallsend Cemetery
http://www.rootschat.com/links/08n2/

There are also burials at the Wallsend General Cemetery which I think is also known as West Wallsend General Cemetery.
TRUBODY Albert Charles  30 Mar 1885
TRUBODY Ann Alenor  16 Dec 1886
TRUBODY Hannah  28 Aug 1869
TRUBODY Leonard  17 Jul 1884

There is a website that lists the MI's for the West Wallsend but the TRUBODY name is not listed.

Well, not everyone came because they wanted to.
