Title: Adams Family, Melbourne, State of Victoria,Australia
Post by: lone_star on Saturday 21 December 13 11:30 GMT (UK)

In the 1950's my grandfather's brothers and families emigrated to Australia. One of the brothers was called Frank Adams and he was born around 1910 in Bournemouth,Dorset,UK.
If anyone has knowledge of this family, I'm trying to trace living relatives.

Here is a tribute - one possibility.  Does this fit? http://tributes.heraldsun.com.au/archivenotice/2962689/view
No sorry he is 91 in 2011 so not your man

The middle name matches that of a migrant from America who migrated in 1958 http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/search/index.aspx  (migrant arrivals)
  No he was born in 1934
But there are other possibilities (some death notices index) http://ryersonindex.net/search.php

Sorry way off track  :( But you could try these links to look at other possibilities

Here are some further details...

Frank George Adams born 21 Nov 1907 Bournemouth,Dorset,UK. He married Ivy Silverton in the UK and I'm told he died in 1988 in Australia. There were four children, at least one is deceased, not sure about the others. A third brother Albert emigrated to Australia late in life in the 1980's. My mum used to write to him when he was alive but we no longer have any contact.

Their father was George Beechum Adams born 15 Mar 1873, Charney,Berkshire.
