FLORENCE married FRED WHIPP 1897-1970 in Halifax, Yorkshire on 23 Dec 1920 (my grandmother was a witness in the Church register).  They had a daughter, WINIFRED born Q2 1921 in Halifax.

They emigrated to Australia sometime after Winfred’s birth.

Fred died in 1970 in Fremantle, Western Australia; I found the record quite easily on Ancestry.co.uk site, however, I cannot find a death record for Florence, can anyone help please?

I am also interested in any information regarding when and on what ship they travelled to Australia and any information regarding other children they may have had.

Mr Fred WHIPP, 27 years, Oil Distiller; Mrs Florence WHIPP, 24 years, wife and Miss Winifred WHIPP, 3 years, embarked London 14 Aug 1924 on the THERMISTOCLES ticketed to Albany, Western Australia.  Last address in the UK - Bank ?End, Upper Stretland, Halifax.  Country of last permanent residence England.  Country of intended permanent residence, Australia.

You can search here for births to 1932, however parents are not detailed.

According to the electoral rolls and cemetery index, these are births for two children.
1925 WHIPP Peter        District Blackwood Reg#50   
1932 WHIPP Stanley    District Fremantle Reg#324

You have the dates of death for Fred and Florence from their burials.  I suggest you request copies of their death and funeral notices published in The West Australian from the State Library of WA.   Hopefully they may have more family information.

Thank you all for taking the time to respond to my posting. You have certainly given me a lot to be looking in to.

To be honest, I struggle whenever I have research to do in Australia as there dosen't seem to be a central repository, even for simple things like BMD records so thank you all ever so much for the information you have supplied me with.

I suggest you spend a little time browsing the links to resources for Australia and then each State.  Each State and Territory in Australia has it's own BDM Registry. Ancestry.com.au also has bdm indexes.

The Electoral Rolls to 1980 are on ancestry.com however there are none for South Australia. 

Defence personel records ie War service records, Immigration and Naturalization records at
http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/using/search/

The digitised newspapers at the National Library are a well used resource :)
