Getting back to the 1931 Census which shows Harold Norman WEST, Wool Classer,  living in Fremantle.  The census also shows an Alfred Edward WEST, Shearer, living in the same street.  I am wondering if they are brothers?  I have done a bit of digging, Alfred and his wife Margaret, appear to have spent most their time in NSW, which leads me to wonder if Harold was born in NSW? Is anyone able to check NSW BDM please?  We would be looking around 1887.
Thanks

PS The 1931 findings you mention will be from an Elctoral Roll, not census.  We do not have recent useful census material in Australia.

Thanks Sparrett

You're right, of course it was Electoral Roll not Census

I did a quick search on the site you suggested but nothing is coming up.  So now we know that SA, Vic and NSW are all out of the equation!

Thanks everyone for the help.

Hi Ted
I am not sure if I have responded to you earlier, if I haven't please forgive me. The lady I am looking for was the mother of Harold Norman Lee West and according to the information that I have, Harold's fathers name was Edward James West and he was supposed to be a surgeon. arold has given his birthplace as Mt Gambier in South Australia but I think that this may be a false trail as I have been unable to find anything for any of them in SA or Victoria.  I am now looking into the possibility that Harold was Born in Colchester in 1888, but once again keep getting dead ends. I would like to know more about this man (Harold) as he is my husband's grandfather. All I can say at the moment, is that he is leading me a merry chase!
All information regarding this family would be gratefully accepted.
