If you go to Records office on this site, a member called Jean offers to do electoral roll look ups.
Sorry to hear you are not well, and send good wishes for a speedy recovery,

Hello Oldies! I can use a project and this one might not be too difficult. If you like, send me a PM with the info you have, like

- about how old she was, and when that was
- her husband's, name if you know it
- the names of any children she had, if you know them

I have a theory and it just might be right -- but in any case I'm happy to take a stab at it!

Just a progress report for anyone who had read --

From the info TO sent me, and after one false start from info he'd been given that turned out not to be the right one, I am pretty sure I have identified Julie and her siblings, husband and kids ... and her parents and their parents and siblings ... and then found no trace of a single one of them after the 2002 electoral roll or in a single tree here at GR. !!! Some people really don't want to be found. ;)

-- Except for one person on Facebook who, from the name, can only be one of the family members, and TO is taking that route to make contact as we speak. ;)

George, I'll have another look later this week. It may just be that the daughter with the Facebook page isn't checking her messages or some such, you never know!
