Hi Brenda and welcome to the boards.

This thread does not appear to be active now and hasn't been for several years but I think that Cherilyn can probably help you - she has a look up thread on here.

I think this link should find her thread and you can put your query on there:

http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/boards/board/ancestors/thread/1198324

You 'may' find that such recent records though might not be available but she would be able to advise you.

Best of luck,

Hi Kerri
I don't know if you are still willing to do the search, so if not no reply is required.

I know my uncle Martin Meldrum died between 1980-1988 in Austrália but not sure exactly where . My late mother got a letter from someone called Miss/Mrs Wade to inform her of his death. He was born in Glasgow, Scotland 1919, his parents were John Meldrum 1873-1944 and Jane Gilmour Edwards 1876-1960.

Ever hopeful

Kind regards

Brenda

Thanks, Joy

Hi Kerri
I'm hoping you may be able to help me again please.

Regarding my Aunt Hilda Emma Quarmby. Seems to be a bit of confusion - Could she have travelled in her maiden name of Livingstone, OR was she the Hilda Vanhandenhove married in England in 1927?

Many thanks

Jenny
