Putting 'Australia' in your title might be productive

What is the relevance - if any - of NIXON?

Thanks for all your help and findings, I really appreciate it. Sorry I wasn't very clear in my first post, i'm not a regular poster so not very experienced with forum etiquette.

There is a Greta and James living at Lot11, A'Beckett Rd In Victoria 1968 james is a metal worker

also in the same district there is a Phillip Duncan Campbell a mamager living with a Gladys Joyce and a Robert Anthony ( a fitter) 1968

in 1972 Greta and James are still at the address given above but
Phillip whom is still in the district but at a different address is only at home with a Gay Elizabeth

I do not know if these are whom you seek but the only other Gretta is in Queensland but not with a James..
I will keep looking

nb. Greta and James dissappear after 1972. I cannot check the ryeson index because the site has crashed .
