Looking for Norman Forsythe Clarke

Hello Everyone,
Would there be someone out there that can find a death for a Norman Forsythe Clarke for me please.
Norman was born 1906 in Brisbane QLD.
I have traced him via Electoral Rolls up to 1954. He was at Spring Street A.R.A. Sub Division Melbourne Victoria Australia. I do not know what A.R.A. means. Someone in Victoria would know.
Any information would be most appreciated. Thank You.
Patricia.

Hi Patricia.

ARA could possibly stand for Australian Retailers Association ( ARA-VIC )

http://www.retail.org.au/

or

Australasian Railway Assoociation Inc Pty Ltd 215 Spring St, , Melbourne, 3000

Cant see a death for him in Victoria up to 1985 on Index.

Do you have his parents names and mother maiden name.
There are 7 Norman - - - - - CLARKE deaths upwards from 1954 to 1985.....but not with a second name of Forsythe

Hello Toni,
Norman's father was Samuel Forsyth Clarke and his mother Mabel Josepha Long formerly Quigley. Thanks for taking a look for me.
Regards,
Patricia.

Hi Patricia.

Sorry, cant see him on Vic Index's....but again, i can only view them up to 1985

Checked for both CLARKE and CLARK

Only one Norman .....but a Norman Francis CLARKE death in 1984 aged 87....with a father Samuel...but mother Elizabeth ( no maiden name )

I also checked two of Melbourne's larger Cemetery's that show deaths up to recent years., and also the Ryerson Index up to 2009 contemporary death notices and obituaries in Australian newspapers ( Nothing )

Hope someone else sees your post and can help you.
