Hi all,
Trying to find a death notice of Peter James Morris and his wife. Peter's probate came in October 2008 (Rysons Index).

Hi there,
http://ryersonindex.org/index.htm
The Ryerson Index has not included any death notices for either of the two people you are identifying in your post. It has indexed a Probate notice for a Peter James MORRIS, late of Maclean, which was published in the Clarence Valley Review (Yamba) 01 Oct 2008. If this is one of your persons of interest, then the jurisdiction is New South Wales. The application for a grant of Probate would be through the NSW judicial system. Non historic probate files have restricted access limitations.
Can you confirm the date of death for the wife you are naming in your opening post? If not, then it is possible she is still living, and so it may be best if you modify your post and remove her name.

Thank you for all your help. I don't know either death dates. I have tracked them both to Maclean but the electoral roll finished at 1980. They were both there then but from then on it was a blank until I Looked on the Ryerson index, and found Peter.

So you don't actually know if the wife you are naming in your opening post, or on the other thread is no longer living. You have posted that Peter was born 1919, so his wife may well have been born in the 1920s, and she may well be still living.
Ancestry has uploaded a number of electoral rolls. Currently these cover some of the jurisdictions in Australia, but at the moment, Ancestry's uploads do not include any years more recent than 1980.
There are restrictions on accessing information about living people, and we are not allowed to post names of people who may still be living.
