Hi Michelle -
'National Archives of Aus' (on-line) show Ernest and Eleanor (nee Long) HOOSON arrived Perth W Aus 1965 with chn (1) Jean Elizabeth (2) Brian and (3) Linda.

Ernest Hooson died 20/9/1985 (age 65) at Coolbellup - memoralised at Fremantle Cemetery.

The 'West Aus State Library' (on-line) has an 'Ask a Librarian' service -they will check electoral rolls (past & present). (hopefully they can at least trace/find Brian.)

They will also check newspaper d notices for Ernest (c20/9/85) for family names.

You may well find Brian HOOSON in the (WAus) 'White Pages'.
