Hi Roz,
The BDM indexes are kept seperately for each state and the dates vary as to what years are publicly available for each state. Often you will have more success with looking for a burial for these more recent years, or a newspaper notice. You can have a look here for some indexed notices, and they have a look-up service (see menu on left side)

Check the Australian resources board at the top of the main RootsChat Australia page for cemetery and death indexes which are available online, or if you want to post the details of the person you are looking for, many people have other resources that they can check for you.

1983 is a bit late to get anything from BDM indexes.
Can't find him in the Ryerson Index 1970-2010
Do you have any idea of where in Australia he lived?

Wilfred married Dorothy May CORBETT in 1936 at Adelong. She died in 1980. I can't access the online electoral rolls at the moment to find Wilfred's occupation. A Thomas Henry CORBETT also married a Dorothy May in 1939, so you would need to see the death notice. There is neither a Thomas H or Wilfred E buried at Springwood Cemetery.

Thanks mfcnt & cando.
This is my nan, she was married to Wilfred but they separated many years before she passed away, He moved away either the Terrigal or Inverell area's,
I found a tip the other day that Wilfred had passed away in 1983..
Just wanted to see if I could find out if it was true, other wise he would be over 100, still that could be the case hey??
