Not a good idea to post your request for help on another members thread especially when is it 3 years old.

Start a new thread and that way more members will see your request and you will get more help

Good luck

I am searching for information about my grandfather, Charles Clarke born in UK in 1855. He migrated to Australia and at 21 married my grandmother, Elisabeth Hourigan. On the marriage certificate his home was Weston Bath. His parents were Charles Clarke and Mary Best.

Victoria charges for BMD indexes

Some cemetery sites also charge a fee some will do a look up for a fee, some charge for a CD.

Hope that is a start for you.

Also Ancestry have loads of Australian records now, which is very helpful.

PS: Some early Australian Electral Rolls are also available on Ancestry, so just ask if you need a lookup.

Hi Gail from OZ,
Whilst researching UK relatives have been using freeBMD which has helped,with respect to Australia the only site I can find for Queensland area seems to be this one.
http://www.justice.qld.gov.au/search-historical-records.htm
which seems to cover only between 1829 to 1914 are you aware of anywhere else I can go for info in Australia? cheers Nick.

Hi Nicholas....
1.. get into...National Archives of Australia.
2....press record search.
3.. press search now as a guest.
4 ..type in his name....if he had a middle name include that.
if there are many with the same name, sort them out by his Birthplace if you know it.

If he served in the A.I.F then he will have a record.

if you cannot access the N.A.A, let me know, and I will search for you.

kind regards, Lorraine in sunny Mackay Qld.

Hi Nicholas, sorry but us Aussies are on here as well, if you need help put the information up on here and we can but only try to find it for you.
