Title: agnes and alex gray
Post by: FST on Saturday 17 November 07 17:18 GMT (UK)

I'm just starting to look for my grandfathers sister Agnes (Neilson) who married Alexander (Alex) Gray in Glasgow in 1925.  They emigrated to Austrlia soon after, I think in 1926.  I think they went to Melbourne.
Can anyone help withpassenger list or other sources?
Many thanks
Fiona T

Hi Fiona

There are lots of resources at the top of this board.

Search now as guest and then search on the Passenger Index
Also on

Found the following death - perhaps you already have the details.  You can search on line http://online.justice.vic.gov.au/servlet/bdm_home  Free to search but pay to view.  You can purchase certificates online and download immediately.

GRAY  Agnes Alexander
Father -  Neilson James  Mother - Margaret 
Place  KEW
Aged 85            1984       Reg No 16050

I need Alexander's parents' names to find his death - lots of Alexander Grays!

Cheers

Hi Cando
Just come on line and think the death you found is definitely my Agnes - and she's the one I'm really interested in! Great news and many thanks.  Will have to follow up and see if she had any family.
Thanks again
