Been trying to trace cousins for 5 years David born India 1947, Peter born Malaya, Heather born Perth 1958 Brian born Perth?

Their Father was my mother's brother Leslie Noel Jones b. 1917 Liverpool, he married Cynthia Shanahan in Jhansi India.

They were both in the Army and later moved to Perth, my uncle joined the police force but sadly was killed in a motorcycle accident in 1960.
The family lost contact when my mum died.

I have all this info and have posted a message before but to no avail.
If anyone out there thinks they can help, please do contact me.
Many thanks

Hello Brenda..Have you any middle names?I can look at the CURRENT electoral roll but Jones would be hopeless..there would be hundreds!
Have you tried newspapers in Perth ? Most papers here in Aus have a Trying To Find column . I have used the local one in Tasmania looking for people from UK and had success. People do read them!
If you have any other info I will have a look next week..Eileen in Tasmania

I presume you've seen the Karrakatta cemetery record for Leslie:

There is also a David Griffith Jones there of the right age but, unlike Leslie, he's memorialized in the RC section:

Karrakatta is a large suburban cemetery, abt 4 km SW of downtown Perth. One spring, I stayed for a week in the next suburb, just a couple of blocks away from the cemetery. It's a very pleasant place.
