Bruce Edward Williams

[GeorgeRP]

Hi Everyone

Its been a number of years since I last used RootsChat, which has been most useful In researching my Family name of VINCENT. I was adopted at birth in 1949 and have found out all the information that I needed to know, The most exciting part of that journey.was to find out after 57 years that I have a half brother and sister.

i am on another journey now and I wish to find out if anyone could help in finding any Death notices more than likely in Victorian Papers, of a Bruce Edawrd Williams. He committed suicide in  a very messy way, on the 8th of November 1981 at the age of 42, he is buried at Springvale Cemetery in Outer Melbourne.

Any help would appreciated


Yours Respectively,



George
