Hello, I have recently found a couple of letters to my late Mother and Grandmother in Ballyclare, Co.Antrim Northern Ireland from a Peggy McClure from the Perth area. Her Husband was called Tom and she had a son called Andrew. Tom died in 1985 and Peggy in 2004.
I have found Tom and Peggy headstone at East Rockingham Cemetery.
How can i find out more information about them? I think they were originally from the Ballyclare area in Northern Ireland and moved to Australia late 1960's early 1970's. Trying to see if they are related to our family. Duncan, Stewart.
Thanks
John

Thanks. Didn't have any clue where to search for Australia deaths. The Kilbride area would be correct. Now more thinking they were neighbours to my Mum and Grandmother but i will investigate more.
