Hi

One of the rules of rootschat is that we don't post about living people

so that precludes us helping in this at least on a public thread such as this.

Sorry to bring you this disappointing news

I wondered about that but your header misled me--- "Trying to trace living relatives".

Maybe if you rephrased your post and header there would be answers

... and also do you know names of places your relatives lived/died/ etc? All such details help make lookups easier.

Good luck with this search

Hi there

The three children of Oscar & Mary may or may not have passed on, and if they have it may be recent - they could also have living children - so it's best to be careful for reason of respecting their privacy.

I've sent you a PM.

Cheers

where do I find your pm?

You've got them

and have replied to me twice so far

Fellows Rootschatters - this search is based in Australia, NSW at present (thought the birth ref numbers looked familiar !)

xxFlyspotxx - do you know if it's just NSW or are there other States in the picture?

Cheers

Ambly...I honestly don't know...this part of the history was news to all out family....I tried searching for death details in nsw and got nothing at all......so maybe they are in other states.

Edit:
Have found the 99.9% definite marriage and death & obit for the daughter.
And put xxFlyspotxx onto the Ryerson Index website
http://ryersonindex.net/search.php

Pretty sure it's definitely the daughter of Oscar & Mary - obit mentions her 2 brothers as named above - plus there were 2 more brothers, 4 in all and all pre-deceased her. Lots of living relatives named.

Also the obit of the daughter's husband (surname is NIDDRIE)

Job done?

- however:

Mods: I think this topic would be best placed on the Aussie boards?
Where xxFlyspotxx might attract the attention of our top-gun Aussie Rootschatter team for better advice on how to find deaths etc in 'off-line' NSW records.

http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/Index/IndexingOrder.cgi/search?event=births
The NSW online Index only goes up to 1979 for deaths, 1909 for births, 1959 for marriages.
