I am looking for any relatives of Robert (Bob) Forrester Born 1919 or 1920. He died in Kalamunda Western Australia in 2010 aged 91 years. Robert lived on Christmas Island  between 1952-1973. He lived in a house adjoining the old cemetery on Christmas Island. He was a good friend Of Reginald Smith who was the harbour master in 1942. I dont know if Bob had children, but Im hoping to find any relatives who might be able to talk to me and help me with some research. Would also like to speak to Reginald Smiths son if he can be found. Reg's full name is Captain James Reginald Smith, Harbour Master, Christmas Island, 1942.
All help appreciated.

Hello Kisschick

It would help if you could state where Robert was born.  You have said he died in Australia but was he born there?

If he was you would probably do better to get your topic moved to the Australia board.

Have you looked for a 2010 obituary which may give info re possible children? Rootschat has a no living persons policy so they could not be named here
