Anyone help my mum trace a long-lost cousin please?

[Singingsnail]

Hello - My mum has lost track of a cousin she'd love to contact. Her name at birth was (*) She was probably born either in Scotland or Devon round about 1940. She may have emigrated to Oz as a child. She was last heard of married (?) with (I think) 2 boys running a caravan site somewhere I'm told is very beautiful! Something River, I think was the name of the place.... maybe Paraidse River? And that's ALL I know!
My mum, slightly older than her cousin, loved her and has always missed her. I'll try and find out more information from her that may help. But anything - a marriage for example - would be so good - both as a step to tracing her and as news for my mum.
Thank you all for taking part in an impossible task!

Hi Singingsnail

Just to let you know, Rootschat isn't a forum for finding missing relatives and your topic has been edited in accordance with RootsChat policy of not publishing details of living people here, or details of people who may still be living. This is to protect all concerned from spam, identity abuse, internet abuse.

I'm sure someone will come along with hints and tips but I know that personal privacy is of paramount importance in Australia and you may not be able to easily find the person you are looking for.

Just to let you know, the name of the person you are looking for does not appear in the birth indexes for England & Wales or Scotland.

If she was born around 1940, there is a good chance her birth entry is recorded on freebmd for England & Wales but you'll have to search under a surname and mother's maiden name.

I had a look at Scotlands People and did a surname search there 1935 to 1950 and there are 5 entries but you'll have to pay to view the results.

Perhaps you could search through here for details of their immigration (if they were assisted)
http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/search/index.aspx   Just type name into main search box.

From there you would get full names and birth details of parents and siblings and could search here for their possible death notices http://www.ryersonindex.org/

If you see a likely entry in the death notices we may be able to find it for you.

There is also the White Pages telephone directory which may give you some clues

Google may help you look for a caravan park of a similar name.  If you are looking for Australian sites it's better to use the Australian version of Google:
