Victoria BMD

Hello everyone,

Many thanks for your assistance.

Yes it is Walter Hoyle Ashton & family I'm interested in. Apologies for the awry geography between Victoria & Adelaide.

If SA death index only goes to 1972 it would seem that they won't show up yet and from what I have gleaned they were in their 70's so the timescale could run into the early 1990's. Is there a (roughly) 30 year rule for publishing of death index?

Kind regards, Fairlane

The limit of indexes varies from state to state...1972 in South Australia, 1985 in Victoria, 1929 Queensland, 1977 New South Wales...I think about 1940 in Western Australia...not sure about Tasmania. 

Were your couple resident in Victoria at the time of the accident?...and have you attempted to contact any of the descendants?  May be your only hope of finding out any details.

Cheers
Cando

Hi Cando

Thanks for your reply. I don't know where they were resident at time of death and the person who gave the information regarding car accident has since sadly passed away. By getting the death cert. I was hoping to find a place of residence to start searching for the rest of the family.

As I'll be offline for a couple of weeks I'll put this on the back burner for now.

Thanks to all who helped.

Best wishes, Fairlane
