Hi Mirambu
I would like to take up your kind offer of a search of the Northern Territory records. I have been searching for a great granduncle who went missing from the army in Hay NSW in Sept 1941. He went through WW1 and had service in India, was born in Belfast Northern Ireland in 1898, but orphaned at only six years old. His name was Thomas Rodgers, and he kept in touch for a while from Australia, then disappeared of the face of the earth.
I have had lots of help on this website about two years ago, his army records etc (seems he went awol from Hay). I engaged a transcription agent to get some death certs, but no luck.
His parents were William Rodgers and Mary Jane Rodgers (nee Myers), although as he was orphaned at such a young age, may have had no memory of them. He was placed in an orphanage, and joined the army and WW1 at an early age.
I know it's a long shot, but perhaps you may come across a death certificate or record, that could be his.
Very grateful for any help
Lucy
