???Trying to locate families of James Dickson and Janet Boyd who, sailed from Glasgow in 1918 for a new life in Australia. I think they may have settled in Prahran, near Melbourne. They had six children., Robert, James, Ruby, William, Marion and Neil. Births probably ranged from 1920---1938/40. Janet's parents' names were., Robina Wilson and James Boyd anf James's parents' names were., Robert Dickson and Euphemia Briggs. James and Janet married in Glasgow Scotland in 1918 and then set off for their new life.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Susan Hamilton.

Hello there
the marriage index in victoria on ly goes to 1942
unless you go on line to the victorian bdm
and have a look there they have a reasonable charge of one dollar but the actual certificate is about 17.50
but you can directly down load to your computer BUT i dont know what time frame they go to
i will check on that
also dont fill in too many details just the name often gives more results i seethat susanbuck has added the site for you to go to
regards jenn

A death certificate for the first of the two who died (James) should give details of their immigration (time in Australian states), marriage and children. The informant would probably have been his wife, so she should know the details :)
apologies - you probably have most of that - funeral notices may give the married names of the daughters, but not the dates.
There is a death index for a James Boyd Dickson father James mother Janet age 62 EBEN 1984 27633

Hi Jenn. A family member who lives in Australia and who is the daughter of William Dickson born 1927. Her name is Laurise Owen and, she lives in Victoria. I now have a marriage date for William but, none as yet for the others. William was married in 1959. Susan.
-
Hello there Susan
Does she have contact with her aunts and uncles or have the all passed away?
regards jenn
-
Hi Jenn. Only recently got in contact with Laurise through the Genes Connected site. I think she is just in the process of doing her tree. Another relative thinks that Janet's sister, Marion, may have went to Australia also. She was born in 1900 and married William Hynd. Sorry I don't have more to go on. Susan.
-
Susan,
Don't know if you have put any of your names into the National Archives Site. This body holds a wide array of Aust. records including war service histories.
http://www.naa.gov.au
When I typed Albert Borneman and Raymond Eades names in, they did come up as being registered for one reason or another.
Albert's seemed to be about someone trying to trace him and Ray's was a service history I think. Does not at that stage list his wife [as you have listed her] as NOK.
If you want to know more than the basics on the screen, you can apply online. Follow the prompts.
Hope you can manage to see what I saw!!
