Was his name Christopher Michael Booth?
I can see this man on Electoral rolls in Queesland from 1977 to 1980
He lives with Claire Jeanette Booth

Hang on.... I have found the parents too.
They are on ERs from 1954 until 1980 and live in the SAME district as this Christopher Michael Booth.
Edit:


Christopher does not appear with Edwin and Maud on any ER as a voter but there is Leo Godfrey Booth with them at 1963

Christopher Michael Booth then materialises with Claire Jeanette in 1977.
Cannot find him before this?

Unfortuately Ancestry marriages only go up to 1950.
You may have to search current directories for him but I guess that Claire Jeanette was his wife?

If you go to white pages phone directory online there is one CM Booth in Qld (Palm Beach) and also a listing for C & J Booth. Worth a try. www.whitepages.com.au (residential search)

The 'QLD State Library' (on-line) has an 'Ask Us' librarian service ... they will check current electoral rolls.

Good luck! I am pretty sure Australia is 61 country code, then 7 (for Qld), then the number. (Assuming you are outside Oz!)
