Hi Tanya.
Rootschat is not a forum for finding living people and lets hope your uncle born c1946 is still alive and very well, wherever he is.
You don't say in your post if you suspect him to be in Australia or England nor any dates of his suposed exit from here. Nor for his parents apparent arrival in Australia?

Hi
This would involve research in two countries, ( if his mother returned to Australia) his mother may have married ( more than once) and changed his surname. The Birth indexes in NSW are only to 1912 online ( maybe 1918), marriages to 1962. There is International Social Services http://www.iss.org.au/ may be able to help.
