Melbourne Birth & marriage, Joyce Adams

[sorrell]

Trying to find the birth of Joyce Adams (my Fathers cousin) I think she was born between 1925 and 1935. Her parents were Claude Wellington Adams  and Rosa Myra Adams (Kirk). They were married in 1920 and lived in or near Prahan!  I know Joyce married as I have a picture of her in her dress, but don't know who to.
Many thanks

Unless you are sure that the person referred to in your post is now deceased you should not include their name in your post.

Most people respect their privacy and could be very unhappy that their name is posted on a public forum.

It is also against Rootschat Policy to include the names of living people.

It would be best to modify your post and remove the name.

Sorry , It is thought that she is deceased now, though the relative who kept in touch with her is dead.

Hi

Australia has strict privacy rules so your fathers cousins birth information would not be accessable through the Victorian Registry of Births. The link below has information about restrictions.

You could try newspapers to see if her birth or marriage is mentioned

I am Claude Wellington Adams' granddaughter and living in New South Wales, Australia. I will be travelling to UK later this year and whilst my time will be limited, I could catch up with anyone searching for descendants of Claude Adams. My mother, Joyce, passed away in 2014 aged 92. She informed me that Aunt Lucy had 4 sons. Hope to hear from you.

Hi, what a suprise...I am the daughter of Claude Glover the youngest son of Lucy and Charlie and the only one still alive, he was 85 in May. Dads memories of Claude are a bit hazy , he told me Claude was a baker and at some time a postmaster in the outback but I'm not sure what was true.
It would be great to fine out what Claude Wellington did and what family there is in Australia, I do have a few photos which I think has Claude in them, one possibly when he came home for a visit. I will have to check how to send you my email address and address incase there was the possibility of meeting up when you visit. M
