Do you mean the James MACAULAY emigrated to Australia in the 1950's. He was born in 1915 but then you say you don't know his date of birth :-\
There is a record on findmypast of a J MACAULAY, Male born c1917 leaving Liverpool in 1952 for Melbourne, Australia.
I am unable to help you with viewing the record as I don't have a subscription to the website. Someone may be able to do a lookup for you if you make a new request with a heading like Passenger Record lookup 1950's or some such.
Does James have a 2nd given name?
Where was he born?
Do you have his parents' names as it may help identify him in the death indexes ie if he died in Victoria before 1985 and NSW before 1977.
From previous posts I appears you are located in Scotland so I assume that James did emigrate ;D
Cheers

Robert I did see that record but it seems that James MACAULAY emigrated in the 1950's. I have searched on both Passenger Index and General Search on
http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/recordsearch.aspx
and can't find a James or J MACAULAY arriving in 1950's.
Cheers

Robert I think James may have been born in Scotland.
The passenger records you have detailed are for trips from Australia to England.
I think Catherine will have to do a bit more homework before we can progress. We need to have his full name and his parents' names and date of birth.

all i know is what my aunt told me, james macaulay is her dad born around 1915 +/-10 years.
from scotland. glasgow i think,
was going out with my gran agness fogg had 3 kids with her.(he had a wife and kids already, he was a player.)
and when agness died in 1952 he ran to australia.
thats why it is so sketchy.. my aunt she thinks there is a memoey of being told her real dad had died
i have nothing set in stone, im only 25 years old and trying to find this out now, none of it happened in my lifetime, or even close..
sorry just noticed i put in ferguson,. he is not a ferguson, thats my other side of the family, sorry sorry
he is a macaulay
-
he died round about the 70s,,, my aunt was telling me it was in the 70s and she thinks he was around 60 when he died,

Hi Catherine.
To fix the heading for you post just go to your first post and you will see a modify button on the right hand corner of your post ,click onto that and you will see your post. Just delete Freguson and put in Macaulay.

Catherine,
Could you ask your aunt what her dad's mum's name was.
Also what her dad's dad's name was.
Sue

she does not know anything more about her dad. only his name and roughly when he was born and died,
she only knows his name from her birthlines, (since lost cant remember a d.o.b.)
and her family member told her that the dad died in the seventies,
and he did have another family around him, I.E. wife family kids, i dont know if they moved with him or he went alone. i have tried to find family members here with the same name, but none have a
james macaulay that fits the age and posibly movind to australia in the 50s

Catherine I have searched in Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia [to 1972] for a death of a James MACAULAY in the 1970's with no result. Of course he may have died in another state but there are no publicly available records for the 1970's to check.
There is no James MACAULAY shown on the passenger records as an emigrant in the 1950's. You do however, mention that it is only a possibility that he emigrated to Australia.
I feel that unless we have his full name, date of birth or names of parents, it is nigh on impossible to find his death registration in the indexes that are available for the 1970's.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help with your quest to find James.
Cheers
