Hi, wondered if any one could help me find my family in Australia.
Diane L Smith b 1955 in Kent England. I am not sure of her married name [ could be Austin, Smith, or Stanger ?? ] she moved to Australia approx 1984
i know her children are David [ 1986 ? ] and Nicola [ 1989 ?] the last contact address was in 1999 for a company called Supa- Bounce, Sims Rd, Greensborough, Victoria. Sorry for the lack of info , it's a bit of a long shot

Any help in tracing her would be appreciated

Have you tried White Pages? A bit of a long shot but worth a try. There is a D. Stranger in Victoria for example.

OK, checked White Pages for Greensborough. There is a D. Austin living in Old Para Court which is 5 minutes walk from a Simms Rd. Might be worth checking out.

Have you searched trees? There are several Diane Smith b 1955 in Kent (no middle initial) and several with an unknown birth place.

If the whitepages person doesn't pan out, it would be an idea to contact the tree owners.

for info, the site brummiejan looked at which is an on-line phone book

Have you tried contacting the company? They seem to have moved but are still in Victoria. They might be willing to pass on your request to any address they have in their records.
I think you need to pin down her marriage really. I can see why you have those names. Unfortunately the only way might be to send for each cert in turn!
You might also try looking for common ancestors with other members on here by using 'search trees', if you haven't already.

Will keep searching !!
Thanks
