Hi Barbara, The Victoria State Library has an 'Ask Us' Librarian service (query form on-line) they will check their records including electoral rolls (past & present) & newspaper death notices. ..... Valerie (WA)

Hi Valerie,
Thanks for this, this is all I have - Robert Moore McIntyre - born Belfast, Northern Ireland, dob 12/6/1926, parents - Samuel McIntyre born 1899, Jane McIntyre (nee gray ) born 1903, both Belfast and a brother named Samuel John born 1924 (my dad) Robert married Thomasina (nee Magowan) looks like she was from Northern Ireland.
Robert and Thomasina emigrated to Australia 20/9/1950 and eventually settled in Melbourne,I think they had 3 or 4 son's. Both his parents emigrated to Australia in the 1950's, Samuel his father (my grandfather) died there in 1961 aged 62 and is buried in Victoria, his mother Jane (my grandmother) moved back to Northern Ireland.
Any help would be much appreciated, thank you for your time.
kind regards,
Barbara.

Hi Barbara, Can you tell me some of their names? Do you know which State they settled in? I'll then do some checking for you. Valerie (WA)

Does anyone know how I can find a family who emigrated to Australia in the 1950's and stayed there.They left from Northern Ireland and had 3 or 4 son's all born in Australia. My dad lost contact with them years ago.
Many thanks,
Barbara.
