« on: Tuesday 08 October 19 21:51 BST (UK) »
Has anyone come across alexander duff gray and his wife , they were married in 1953 in Scotland, and moved to Australia in the 1950s 0r 60s,have not found them on any passenger lists, they pop up in the 1968 electoral roll and in 1980 where they are living at 27 bralias avenue, st ives, Bradfield. I don't know if they had any children, its possible  mother vivien barker moved to Australia after the death of her husband in scotland in 1967 , . any info would be greatly appreciated.

Are you able to confirm those people are deceased as RC doesn't allow the naming of living or possibly living persons?

I have not come across them, but Alexander Duff Gray was born in Glasgow in 1921.

There's no birth of a Patricia Vivien Barker in Scotland, however, and no marriage of a Mr Barker to a Vivien.

7 male Barkers aged over 50 died in Scotland in 1967.

www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk is the place to look for all BMDs in Scotland, but all these events are later than the cut-off dates for online viewing so you would have to order a copy of any certificate you wanted to see.
Never trust anything you find online (especially submitted trees and transcriptions on Ancestry, MyHeritage, FindMyPast and other commercial web sites) unless it's an image of an original document - and even then be wary because errors can and do occur.

PVB was born 1932 so could still be alive in which case her name needs to be removed from your post

Brother would have been born after 1932 so his name also needs to be removed

Mea culpa! I forgot to use a wild card in Vivi*n. Well found, Carole.

Bradfield isn’t a place in NSW, it’s an electoral division.

Hopefully, someone here will be able to look this up. You may need to put it on the Australia board.
