I have found my dad and thank you so much for your help !

I would now like to find siblings . I have found 5 so far and would love some help locating the last 2.

My dad married Jenny sometime approx nov 1969 to jan 1970, they were divorced 1975/1976 and this may have been filed in Darwin .

They had 2 children Scott born March 1970 at the RBH Brisbane and Michael ? Further details not known . Jenny is believed to have married a Canadian and taken the boys to live there ?

For reference my dad is Jonathan Sean Mcatamney 11/01/1951 born in Brisbane now living in Sydney. He married Jill Christina Green 14/5/77 they are still married.

He has 8 children
Scott born in Aus born to Jenny
Michael ? Born to Jenny
Amanda born in Aus and adopted born to jan
Sadie born in the UK to Mavis
Zoe born in the UK to Linda
Dylan born in the UK to Linda
Josh born in Aus to Jill
Ben born in Aus to Jill

Is he Jonathan Sean? I see his parents were in Queensland and there is a Jonathan showing on the 1980 electoral rolls.

Sadie to buy any UK certs get them from

www.gro.gov.uk

Use the ref. given in the death record .this is known as the GRO ref and is their filling ref. so they can locate it

Certs cost £9.25 with the GRO ref.


You have to register on the site ,free, then follow the order form. Tick the box that asks if the GRO ref is known. All you need then is to use the ref where asked for on the boxes .

Hi Shirley I believe they are. There was a m mcatamney listed on phone records on king Edward ave, Mansfield, I believe this was my grandmother. Who would I contact to see who the informant was? I believe he's in aus not in the uk but am not sure. There was also a girl named Zoe mcatamney born in 1973 in Mansfield but I can't find anything recent to contact her other than her mothers name was slaney. She could be a relative. It's such an unusual surname. My mother had maintenance papers drafted and sent via solicitor when I was born so apparently he knows my name but he moved on . The solicitor has passed away and they only keep records for 10 years

Because it's an unusual name I'm sending you a message with marriage of a Mcatamney in Notts...may not be connected, though, could be sister?
