Where to go for Information on Recently Deceased

Cando The person's name is GLS born 1960.  He never married and I'm sure his siblings would like to know when and where he is buried.  Once you see the name I will modify the post to show initials only.   Olwyn

I can see no death funeral notice ...archive from 1998 although there are a number with his first given name and surname but appear to be husband of or father of.    I have searched some of the larger metropolitan cemeteries with no result.  I will have to leave the search until tomorrow now.

I am grateful for your effort on my behalf.  I suspect there was no one who would submit a notice.  Thank you for trying.

Obwan I will continue to search for a burial tomorrow...a bit late for me now.

Cheers

Hi Cando , I owe you an apology.  The year of birth is incorrect.  The family gave me 1965 but it didn't sound right.  They said there were 4 years between him and the next child.  The youngest was born in 1956 so I figured it must be 1960.  I've just come back from the library, the microfiche have 1948 and I checked every year from 1943 (the year the parents married) and there is only 1 for G L.  His sister was born in 1952.  I found a burial at Springvale Botanical Cemetery for Dec 2003.  The date of birth is 22 Nov and the family gave me 27th Nov so I have a feeling this is the one.  Proving it might not be easy.  I will contact the family and ask them to reconfirm the birth date.  Olwyn

Hi Olwyn

If you PM me some details it shouldn't be too difficult to find his birth. Do you know his mothers maiden surname? Also his sisters details and roughley his birth location.

Done....

You are fabulous.  This is brilliant, it would be beyond the realm of reason not to be convinced by this evidence I have the correct person.  Thank you.     Wasn't the Belair Garden's staff wonderful to insert this notice.   

The help I have received with this post is amazing.  I thank you all.
