If you go to Records office on this site, a member called Jean offers to do Electoral Roll look ups. Your Dad may still be listed on the 2009 rolls with Patricia, and you could contact her, she may know details about the family.
Good luck,
Liz

Fiona,
For your own safety, it would be better if you send Jean a pm with your email address - also against GR to put email addresses on threads.
Regards, Liz
