Title: Death Record for Donald MacGregor Urquhart
Post by: mhomac on Tuesday 28 January 20 17:07 GMT (UK)
Looking for information/ death record for Donald MacGregor Urquhart. He was born in Scotland, in 1940, but died in Perth, Western Australia, in 1980.
Compiling a family tree for a friend and this information would complete a section of the tree.
Hoping someone can help which would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Donald died unexpectedly near Mandurah in WA.  The cause of his death was not determined.

Donald had three children back in the UK, Seona, Ewan and Lynn.  Does any one have contact details for them or his former wife Elizabeth?

I do have a photo of Donald if you are interested.

mhomac thanks for sending me the personal message.  I am a new member so I cannot use the PM facility and reply until I have made three posts.  This is my third post so if you can PM again I can hopefully reply to you.  Donald's second wife passed away last year and I have some family records in a suitcase from forty plus years ago.
