My main information I wanted to know wasn't really related to previous post which was what sort of research could I do to find children or my grandmother's siblings. I have found this website very useful in the past on ideas of how to research but this time finding people more abrupt then anything!
So if anyone is able to give any positive information that has not already been listed, I would be forever greatful for the assistance. websites etc.. I didn't know if there was a way to search for their children (like where you could search mother/fathers name to get children's names). But guessing not by the responses!
Also researching Andrews, Hams, Buckley, Kirby, Williams & Cronk

Danielle have you tried the Western Australia State Library to see if they have a death notice for the parents?

http://www.slwa.wa.gov.au/

I have never contacted them before so i dont know what they are like to work with but could be worth a try maybe.

thanks I have used different state libraries for other families didn't even click will try searching there, anything is better then nothing.

I spent a lot of time on researching on the linked thread and the suggestion was made that to progress with your research ie find all the names of the children of Joseph Atkins KIRBY you would need to purchase either his or his wife's death certificates.

Marriage Information is available both on
http://www.bdm.dotag.wa.gov.au/_apps/pioneersindex/default.aspx
and to 1965
http://www.wamarriage.info/default.aspx

Birth information is available to 1932 however parents names are not listed post 1905
http://www.bdm.dotag.wa.gov.au/_apps/pioneersindex/default.aspx

Thelma's and Beryl's births are within the last 100 years and therefore their children would also.

May I suggest you read through the links that are available for research in Western Australia
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,369921.0.html

Good luck with your research

Yes i know the children of Joseph Kirby and I am aware that I will have to purchase to see if the other child may be related or if it just happens to be another born in the district, that I already had sorted from last time, thank-you. Now as I stated I am now looking for the information or how to look for their cousins, clearly I may just have to wait for more time to lapse, thanks for the links will just keep searching.

You are obviously seeking information about living persons and we are unable to assist with that.

Did you find the  Reverse Marriage Index any help?

Did you notice the last post on the linked thread?  I thought perhaps you may have missed it as there was no response ;)

Well I don't know if they are living, they could very well not be. I do realise if they are people are unable to assist.
Haven't had any luck with the reverse marriage because of the fact I don't even know their names, however I do know they had kids.
Yes I did notice the last response on the other post although, I tend to believe the birth cert over the death one.

This is the reason you need either Christine or Joseph's death certificate.  I would opt for Christine's as the informant would more than likely be Joseph and all the children would be noted.  Yes I certainly understand that certificates are expensive but one certificate would open up your research and then we could help you further. 

You may like to contact the SLWA for death and funeral notices lookups in WA metropolitan newspapers
http://www.slwa.wa.gov.au/about_us/contact_us

I would also suggest a lookup in the local newspapers
http://www.newspapers.com.au/bridgetown.html

Give as much detail as possible it their dates of deaths and where they were buried.  You have that on this thread and the linked thread.

I suggest you also contact - local knowledge is invaluable when researching family history.
