Hi all
My maternal grandmother was DORA WILFORD b. 1901 Rotherham, Yorkshire. d. 1990 Halifax, Yorkshire.
She married CLIFFORD HAYES 1902-1928. Their 4 children were:-
MARY ELIZABETH 1922-1993
FRANK 1923-1988
BARBARA 1925-1997
D. 1927 still living
DORA had several siblings, one of whom was FLORENCE ANNIE WILFORD 1899-????.
FLORENCE married FRED WHIPP 1897-1970 in Halifax, Yorkshire on 23 Dec 1920 (my grandmother was a witness in the Church register). They had a daughter, WINIFRED born Q2 1921 in Halifax.
They emigrated to Australia sometime after Winfred’s birth.
Fred died in 1970 in Fremantle, Western Australia; I found the record quite easily on Ancestry.co.uk site, however, I cannot find a death record for Florence, can anyone help please?
I am also interested in any information regarding when and on what ship they travelled to Australia and any information regarding other children they may have had.
Kind regards
CATZPAW

You have the dates of death for Fred and Florence from their burials. I suggest you request copies of their death and funeral notices published in The West Australian from the State Library of WA. Hopefully they may have more family information.
Scroll down the page to an online enquiry form

Thank you all for taking the time to respond to my posting. You have certainly given me a lot to be looking in to.
To be honest, I struggle whenever I have research to do in Australia as there dosen't seem to be a central repository, even for simple things like BMD records so thank you all ever so much for the information you have supplied me with.

I suggest you spend a little time browsing the links to resources for Australia and then each State. Each State and Territory in Australia has it's own BDM Registry. Ancestry.com.au also has bdm indexes.
The Electoral Rolls to 1980 are on ancestry.com however there are none for South Australia.
Defence personel records ie War service records, Immigration and Naturalization records at
http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/using/search/
The digitised newspapers at the National Library are a well used resource :)
