Hi there,

You have your ancestors electoral roll entries as found at Ancestry.com and you are asking about those places, so, 1977 your ancestors were listed with an address at Katoomba.  Katoomba is in New South Wales, and it is a tourist mecca.  Here is a link that should give you plenty of information about Katoomba.

You have the Strathmore arriving Fremantle 25 May 1957.  Fremantle is in Western Australia.  Here is a link about the state of Western Australia.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Australia   Here is a link about the Strathmore :  http://www.pandosnco.co.uk/strathmore.html

Likely your persons of interest migrated under one of the Assisted Migration projects.   Here is a link re those schemes.   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Pound_Poms

Is it likely that your family later moved again, perhaps to New Zealand, as the New Zealand BDM has a death registered for a Winifred May LYNES with a date of birth of 11 January 1912.  The death was registered in 1985.   There is also a death registered in New Zealand for a Thomas Edward LYNES, date of birth 25 December 1908.  His death was registered for 1983.   Here is the link for New Zealand BDM.    I understand that although it is a cheaper option to order print outs from NZ BDM, that the information on print outs is more detailed than the information on the ceremonial certificates.   https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/search/
