Marriage of norman abraham allen to betty jean hangan

[Ausjules]

I am trying to find information on my maternal grandfather norman abraham allen/allan. He came to australia in the 40s or early 50s i presume. Norm and betty must have married  before 1954 when my mum was born maybe lol. I can find no information on norm, but mum tells me he was from county cork and had a sister joan. Betty (who changed her last name to ramsdale) died in 1995 and norm died a couple of years later in melbourne, they were no longer married. I believe they also gave a son up for adoption before my mum was born, but have no idea how to find information on that either. Any help would be most welcomed, cheers, julie

Hi Julie,


Would this be your grandfather's probate notice in the paper?

Norman Abraham Harold ALLEN late of South Yarra appeared 14th February 2006 in The Age?

That information came from
http://www.ryersonindex.org/
and you may be able to get someone to look it up. Whether it would hold any more information though is something I can't say.
