Any help with this please Reginald Kenneth Saunders born 1918 in Lewisham London. He went out to Australia in 1951 Sydney New South Wales. and died there in 2001. Occupation Electrician . Any death notice would be good or any other reference to him in Australia . I have seen the details of the Passengers leaving UK record. for 1951. I am not sure if he remarried in Australia. He had at least one marriage in UK that broke up that I know about. Thank you Pam

Could she have moved to the Newcastle area after her husband's death?

If you google her name there are lots of hits and I only see one mention of a Leonie on the electoral rolls.

Ryerson has the notice of Douglas's death, not that's what you were looking for

Surname Given Names Notice Type Date Event Age Other Details Publication Published
TOOVEY Douglas Reginald Death notice 21MAY2002 Death 80 at Caritas Christi Hospice, Kew Herald Sun (Melbourne) 23MAY2002

Were you were aware if they had any male children or the current surname of any females? See if there is an appropriate listing on https://www.whitepages.com.au/residential

Yes - that's where they were living in 1980.

Ask the Librarians to work forward from that. Its possible they are still alive or have moved elsewhere

Subdistrict: Burwood

There's nothing listed with that surname on the Ryerson Index
http://ryersonindex.org/search.php

Its possible that either a notice wasn't placed or the volunteer transcribers haven't reached that year.

You could use the Ask a Librarian service. Some States are free, other's make a charge. Bearing in mind that the State is larger than the UK, a general location would help

They may be willing to check the Electoral Rolls from the last known address.

Does anyone have access to any newspaper death notices for Victoria Australia for about 2014-2015 for a lady named Leonie Toovey born 30/07/1933. Thanks Pam
