It was on the Immigration & Nationalisation section of the Australian National Archives
http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/search/index.aspx

Click on Record Search, underlined in blue in the text.
Select the Name Search tab
Input names
Scroll down to Immigration & naturalisation

It’s also a useful site to search for military records.

Sorry to ask but are you sure he died in 2001? This couldn't be him then?

Saunders Reginald Kenneth 1918? 21 Aug 1996 78 Centennial Park SA


Other Information

from Woodforde


Can I ask you +++DetEcTive+++ please, what application this is?


Doesn’t look as if wife & child accompanied him. From the wording, it doesn’t look as if they had divorced when the application was made.

SAUNDERS, Reginald Kenneth (Navy Service No.: C/MX 78953) born in London on 23 July 1918; Wife: May Ellen SAUNDERS; Son: Barry SAUNDERS - Application dated: Sydney, 17 January 1946]

The file is ‘open’ & a copy can be purchased for AUD 23.35

No idea if his DOD & next of kin would have been added.

It’s not so easy to order recent certificates as it is in the UK
“ If you are a relative not listed on the certificate, the certificate can be issued to you if the deceased had no living spouse, children or parents.”

For full information, click on the Application for Death Certificates pdf link on the following
https://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/Pages/about-us/application-forms.aspx

Other States have different restrictions.

Surely you need to look at the same sites as for your other request

Have you considered ordering a copy of his death cert?

Any help with this please Reginald Kenneth Saunders born 1918 Lewisham London Died 2001 Australia. He went out to Australia in 1951. New South Wales Occupation Electrician. Any death notice would be good or any other information for him in Australia. I have seen the passengers leaving UK list on Ancestry for 1951.His marriage(s) in UK had ended, but it is possible he may have re married in Australia, any death notice might help with that . Thank you all for your continued hard work Pam
