Hi,

My Great Grandfather Percy James Millan McCance is a mystery man, I know he is on the Australian Electoral role but I cannot access this at present.  I was trying to find his occupation and date of birth


Thanks in advance for your assistance

1909, Moore St Moonee Ponds
Percy - Produce Merchant
Edith Mary - Home Duties

If you put a post on the Emigrants to Australia board someone who has the Vic birth indexes should be able to find his birth details. That is if he was born in Australia or maybe he married in Vic.

I have the marriage for Robert and Mary on the AVRI - but it only gives one birthplace - someone with the Vic early CD should be able to give both birthplaces

Robert McCance married Mary Greenwood 1873 ref 4692 - one of them born Yorkshire

I will see if I can trace Mary to find her parents. I don't see a birth for Robert in Victoria. There is one in 1852 for a Mary Ann Greenwood
