Kerry Report 24 Nov 2019 06:11

I hope i have posted this on the correct board. I am trying to locate a lost cousin of my fathers-Thomas Charles Allen Richards was born 1903 in the UK to Thomas Charles and Ada Richards, they then moved to New Zealand and in the 1920s he seems to of disappeared (family think he went to Australia) no once could locate him when his parents or sister passed away in NZ.

I have located a Thomas Charles Richard that passed away 23.09.1981 and buried 25.09.1981 at Tweed Heads Memorial Gardens NSW Australia. There was a death notice in the Sydney Morning Hearld.

Is there anyone that could direct me to where i could get a copy of the death notice as i don't really want to get the death cert unless i really have too to elimate him as my fathers cousins

any help would be appreciated

regards
