COMPLETED Need Help!
« on: Sunday 01 May 11 12:13 BST (UK) »
I am in serious need of help here and I'm leaving it up to the brilliant minds on here!

I am seeking information on Richard John Williams and his wife Elsie Gladys Eileen Croucher. I don't know anything about them except that they got married in 1922 in Granville, NSW, Australia (NSW BDM).

I only know of 2 children they had:
1 - John Herbert Williams b. 15/03/1928 Merrylands, NSW, Australia m. Iris King 1955 in Auburn, NSW, Australia d. 21/11/1992
2 - Joyce Williams b. 19 January 1924??? Joyce was born the day after I was but I'm not sure about the year. I believe she was 2-3 years older or younger than her brother.

If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate the help. Thank you so much in advance.

The Newspaper article linked shows the funeral notice of Elsie Gladys IRENE Williams but I do think it is her as the family name of Croucher is also mentioned in one  the funeral notice, as beloved sister etc

She is also shown on the Ryerson Index and it states she was 53, this notice would indicate that someone had requested the details of the funeral or death

the death details from the NSW BDMS
