HOOPER and the case of the disappearing one
« on: Sunday 16 March 08 23:42 GMT (UK) »
William John Austin HOOPER was born in Bathurst 1901.

William is my current brick wall (and has been for some time),  the information I currently have, are his birth details, Marriage certificate, WW2 air-force papers and that is it. Family lore tells me that he left, possibly to NZ, never to be seen again and sadly thats where it stops.

I dont have any further information, so any suggestions on where to look for deaths or passenger lists to NZ post World War 2 would be greatly appreciated

Thanks!
