My cousin Jean was born in 1941 in Epping she married in1962 to a Trevor J Pellen in Epping. They had 2 children Christopher John b 1969 and Kathryn e b 1970
Jean and Trevor divorced (i don't know when) and she moved to Australia, i would think in the 70/80s. Last i heard she lived in the Blue mountains. I do not think she married again.
I would love to find out about her and her children and who they married

Jean Anne Pellen
in the Australia, Electoral Rolls, 1903-1980
Name: Jean Anne Pellen
Gender: Female
Electoral Date: 1980
Electoral Place: Newport, Mackellar, New South Wales, Australia

No other Pellens of voting age living with her.

There are also ER entries for her in 1972 and 1977.
In 1972 she's with Trevor John Pellen in Manly. NSW, and in 1977 they're still together, in Newport NSW - so if they divorced, it wasn't until after that.
Presumably between 1977 and 1980.

Researching:
Old genealogists never die.....they just lose their census.

Using the links given by ErikaH:

No sign of them on whitepages.

None of them had died in Australia by 31/12/1989, (assuming Kathryn unmarried) which is the latest possible date of death online.
Online marriages only go up to 1970.

So the only hope for finding them in Australia (of the three links above) is
