Colac-Otway Births
« on: Wednesday 29 April 15 05:34 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I am looking for BDM information for the following persons, all born in Victoria and possibly in the Colac-Otway region;

***

Parents were William BELL and Anita THOMAS - I have their marriage (Broadford) and death details (Geelong) - but no birth details for Anita who was apparently born in Tasmania (William was born in Scotland).

All of the above married and had families. Some may have relocated with family to Queensland.

Any information or research leads appreciated.

Thank you.

Can you please confirm that these people that you are naming and identifying are no longer living. 

Cheers,  JM

To be honest I have no idea if any of these persons are no longer living.

Not included in the list are another sister and brother who are deceased (mid 90's and early 2000's respectively).

There's Australia's privacy issues, and also it is a NO NO re living persons at RChat.

Cando and majm,

I take note of your posts and guidance on the subject.  :-[

Since most of my family research is concentrated in Scotland I can get "limited" information from Scottish records website (name, year, location) on living relatives - so guess we're a bit spoiled.
If that is the rules for Australia then so be it.  :-X

Thanks for your posts.

I think you missed the point.....not the rules for Australia.....

Hi plays54  :)

   You should hit the "modify" button on your original post and then backspace over the names of people who you are not certain have passed away.
