Post by: isk on Tuesday 17 September 19 05:45 BST (UK)
Hello and I wonder if anyone can help me with the names of the parents of Kenneth Murdo Macaulay who died in Queensland, probably Brisbane in 1971.  If this is too recent please advise.  Thank you in advance.  isk

Thank you all for such quick responses.  I am now sure that I have the correct family and can move the search further back, probably to Scotland.  I am grateful for you interest.  isk
