Find Ancestors

I am looking for information relating to my grandfathers family.

I am familiar with his details - his name was Raymond Jaffrey Hobbs. He was born on 26th May 1912 but I am not sure where in Victoria, Australia. I am seeking information about his ancestors. Would appreciate any information if you are able to find it…

I believe his fathers name was Frederick Hobbs and his mothers name was Margaret Jaffrey. I do not know where they were born.

Firstly, all certificate for those events happening in Victoria Australia can be bought at https://online.justice.vic.gov.au/bdm/home

Australian death certificate are well worth getting as they usually contain lots of extra info.

My apologies for not thanking you sooner Julie. My search for family information has taken a back seat while I get organised for Halloween.

There is an abundance of information, I cannot thank you enough. You’ve spent quite a bit of your time on this, for me - a stranger. I only wish I could repay you in some way...

It makes for interesting reading and now gives me far more branches to add to my tree than I thought possible.

Thank you again,
Sandra

Glad that I could help.

I know that this thread is quite old now but I would be very interested to hear from any relatives of the Patrick George or Thomas Hobbs originally from wyndham.
