I am looking for any information on Vineta Elise Broue born 1905 in West Maitland her parents were Albert Broue and Pearl nee ( Lethbridge). She married Arthur Rawdon Blandford around 1930. She had one child that I know of. They lived in or around Vacluse. Vineta died in 1935 of tuberculosis. Any information would be much appreciated.

I have just started research for a family friend who is related to Vineta Elise Broue and Arthur Rawdon Blandford - I think they were his birth parents. I only have a couple of certificates to start with, one being his birth certificate and then known as ALAN RAWDON BLANDFORD born 25 11 1932. He was then adopted out with quite a few name changes. If you have any information that could help him in tracing and getting to know these parents, I would appreciate your contact. I will pass on your information to him. Kind regards, Lindsay Gleeson (Mrs)

You could click on her name to send her a message.

If she still has the same email address and can access it, she will be able to reply.

Should you like help to research Alan's birth family, then we'd be happy to assist. It might be better to start your own thread.
Once you have his parent's MC, see if you can identify their births and any siblings. After that try and trace forward.

Birth Date: abt 1906
Death Date: 17 Apr 1935
Death Location: Newington State Hospital

Just wondering if recorded under maiden name as buried in a family plot? However, can find no marriage record to Arthur Blandford.
