Title: George Mervyn CURTIS and Phylis WILLSHIRE
Post by: Gramps63 on Monday 16 April 12 04:10 BST (UK)
I am trying to find information for the children of George Mervyn Curtis (B 13.3.1914 at Payneham SA) and Phylis Willshire (B 3.1.1919 at Mt Gambier SA) and married on 21.10.1936 at the Registry Office, Adelaide SA. They were my uncle and aunty and I am trying to gather information for the Curtis family. Hoping some kind person can help.

Any children born after 1936 may very well be alive and rootschat policy  does not all  information about  the living/

Are you Aunt and Uncle still alive  if not do you know when and where  they died  we may be able to find a funeral notice that might list family members

thanks JEnn

Hi Jenn
Many thanks for the prompt reply. My uncle died on 2 March 1986 and my aunty on 31 October 1981. I believe they are both buried at the Salisbury Cemetery here in SA. Many thanks for your help.

Maybe I am not reading this right. You are looking for information FOR the children ???

If so, what sort of information could we give you that they dont already know ???

Hi Neil. Thanks for your reply. The children are my cousin(s) and I and other family members unfortunately know nothing of or about them. I am just trying to see if I can get a lead on someone that I can personally follow up.
