Cant find a marriage in Victoria for a Terence HURFORD, but can only check up to 1942 for Vic.
The D.Hurford shown as Next of Kin on service records "could" be his wife?

Cant see a death in Victoria for Terence HURFORD up to 1985.

Have checked "Ryerson Index" Newspaper Obituaries up to 2010 but nothing listed.

Its also possible he could be still alive, and in his 90s...being he was born 1918......or moved to another State.?


Tony ( Melbourne Victoria )

Births for the State of Victoria can only be searched up to 1921
However......Deaths can be searched up to 1985.

Other related deaths to the HURFORD family surname in Victoria.

It seems a child ( Charles Hurford ) was born in 1923 - 4 to Charles and Flor Eugenia, but died in 1924
