Hi,

I'm looking for any information regarding my biological great-grandfather, Alfred Charles Houghton. I believe Alfred was born in Australia in 1900 and died in 1960, and was married to Edith May Kelly.

Furthermore, any information regarding the identity of Alfred's parents or grandparents would be greatly appreciated.

Warm regards,

Kris

His mother..

'the Valley' in the notice Cando found for you (above) is Fortitude Valley, a suburb immediately to the east of Brisbane CBD.
Toowong Cemetery is one of Brisbane's largest and oldest.
