Hi all!  ;D

Good news Roy - I have a copy of the death certificate.  8) I will send you a PM with the details.

Trish - how weird is that? They have wills to 1991 at the archives!!!! So I as a complete stranger can rummage through anyone's wills and death certificates - and get a photocopy for a few cents. However if I wanted to purchase one through the Justice Dept for $20 odd, I wouldn't be able to do so.

Makes perfect sense to me.  ;)

Hi Ruskie,
  That is really unreal. I have been having trouble getting a 1952 will here in CQ. Are they only the southern district wills or do they have all of QLD. at the archives. Is this the archives at Runcorn??
Regards
Mariac

Yes Mariac, Runcorn.

As I was looking for Southern wills I didn't take too much notice of the other districts, but I think I noticed later ones for Central too.

Give me a shout if you need any lookups though I'm not sure when my next visit will be.
