Peter Graham WILSON

[bagpuss]

Hello there,

I require some help by Rootschatters who know their way around Austrailian records.

I have for some time been trying to find out what happened to Peter Graham Wilson born 1909 to Bertram Wilson and Ethel Mary (nee Lord).  His father died in 1920 in Finchley, London and I should love to know what happened to his wife Ethel Mary and his son Peter Graham Wilson. I cannot find a death entry in the GRO death index.

Today, I found a record of incoming passenger list on ancestry, from Brisbane to London (Tilbury) on 2 Sep 1938 for Peter G Wilson age 29 (1909) and Ethel M Wilson age 65 (1873) it gives their country of future intended residence as Austrailia.  I can't find any record of either leaving the UK.

Can anyone help, this seems too much of a coincidence not to be them.  I'd love to know what became of them.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Sue

Peter died in 1969 in New South Wales - Search the Indexes here
http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/familyHistory/searchHistoricalRecords.htm

If you know the names of Ethel Mary's parents, you may be able to identify her death index entry also, if she died NSW (and if the informant knew her parents names!)

Cheers

Thank-you all of you,

I'm on the case.

Cando - What a wealth of information - I'm overwhelmed, isn't it suprising that after years of finding nothing you get one lucky break. and you're off and running.

HURRAH!!!!

I'm really grateful.

PS Edith Mary's parents were John and Mary Lord if that helps.

Hi Cando,

Is there any sign of Ethel Mary Wilson on any of the electoral registers you quoted from earlier.  She was born in 1873.  I'm wondering if she returned to Austrailia with her son or remained in England and died here.  Might you know if there any incoming Austrailia records to search online?

Best Wishes,
Sue
