I am trying to find information on George Ernest McCoy born in 1914 and passed away in 1990. Does anyone have any information on George or his wife Christinia Adelaide Milton.
I am also trying to find information on Ethel McCoy born 1912 who married Percival Smith Faulkner. All I know is Ethel passed away in 1994
I do not have much more information to go by.
Any assistance would be appreciated..

If yes there is a massive family tree on ancestry with photos of them all with records verifiying who there are. Also giving details of grandparents, aunts, uncles etc. If you don't have access to ancestry I suggest you join and message the tree owner which I will pm to you if details are correct.
-
yes this is correct family from Australia
-
Is the tree yours on ancestry?
If not do you have access? I don't mind sending you details but it might be more interesting to speak to the person who owns the tree as they claim to be the grandchild of Patrick John McCoy Birth 26 April 1921

Census records are great, thanks.. This is how I am going by her name but cant for the life of me find her birth certificate anywhere or who her parents were. . Not sure why.. I know she married George Ernest and they had two children one who died at a young age.. I know they lived in Mt Isa, where George was first Mayor.. Why cant I find a birth certificate for her..
-
tina morana has given you a ELECTORAL ROLL item, as she has said.
NOT Census.
You can deduce from the years given that if she was voting in 1943, she was 21 years old or more.
The possible reason for your inability to find a birth record is that her birthdate falls after the closure of open birthdate information in Australian states which (with rare, exceptions which do not apply to the Eastern States) is before 1920.

I'll just butt in here for AJO - hope you don't mind.
9.4.1940 in the Townsville Bulletin - McCOY-MILLER wedding. note MILLER not MILTON.
George Ernest McCOY m. Christina Milton, daughter of H.H.Miller.
This could mean we should be looking for Christina Milton MILLER.
Marriage notice mentions a Mrs. Cater (sister of the bride from Innisfail), as well as sisters Mary (Mt Isa) and Joan, brother Jack MILLER.
