Hmm Computer bug was the reason last time for delay in replying. No reply again to some useful answers. Shall leave my message for rest of today then delete assuming you didn't want help after all.

Hi Tara If you look on the Records Office board, for Cherilyn's post, she will do lookups for Victoria (Melbourne), each state keeps its own records separately (bit like England and Scotland). She should be able to find marriages, deaths, but not births. You can also look for yourself on the pay-for-view Vic. BDMs indexes website: http://online.justice.vic.gov.au/servlet/IdxSearch?action=getHistIdxSearchCriteria Sounds like Alan Gordon Birchmore is quite a high profile person in his own way.. Di

Found the following relevant info ......... Info deleted 23/06/07 as no response received in over a week

Tara if you want to send for their marriage certificate this is the reference... Cecil G Birchmore married Doris I Green in Lambeth in the september quarter 1937 ref no:1d-706. Georgina.

Hi Tara, Think I may have found him on following website http://naa12(.)naa(.)gov(.)au/scripts/PassengerReport.asp Passenger FAMILY NAME, BIRCHMORE Given names Title Alternative FAMILY NAME, Given names Cecil Gordon Ship/aircraft name Stratheden Port of embarkation London Port of disembarkation Melbourne Date of arrival 01 Mar 1949 Barcode no 9245063 He was travelling with Doris Ida Birchmore and Alan Gordon Birchmore. You can request copies of their details. Bye Helen Brisbane

Do you mean that they lived in Australia for that period of time....or that they emmigrated and stayed there, travelling out some time in that time frame? If he died in Australia, I think the death certificate may indicate how many years he had lived there. Our Australian friends on GR may be able to tell you whether this is so. Gwyn

Tara, just a tip - delete this one and put it over on the Records board with a different heading - something like - Australia Immigrant help please You will then attract people with specialist knowledge and resources.

Hi can anyone help as i have come across a problem that i am stuck with, A Cecil Gordon Birchmore born 4th quarter 2a - 41- 1911 Epsom Married a Green and had a son called Alan. I was then told that they then moved from England to Australia between the years of 1940 to 1960 ... I know that this is a huge amount of time but i am searching this for my father in law and due to ill health he cannot give me any other information as he just cant remember We do know that he passed away about 10 - 15 years ago. basicly im hoping that someone knows and could find out what year he travelled and the details. A huge thing to ask but i would be truly gratefull .... Thanks in advance Tara
