Here is all i have got to date in regards to trying to find my aunt her & 2 children (my mums sister, who is deceased) any of my efforts of trying to find her marriage here in Qld, can't be done with the 75 yr, i know that my aunt married in Brisbane to a Dutch fellow & had a 1 daughter & 1 son, before leaving to go back to Holland, taking my grandparents, my aunts parents who passed in Holland & through a researcher in Holland i found out how & where they died & were buried.
I don’t doubt for one moment that my aunt has passed, as i know her husband had passed prior 1974, that was when she last wrote to my mum.
Not knowing her surname i have little hope if any of finding her 2 children (my only 2 cousins left on the Dutch side of my family)
Also i have not any idea how they left Australia, either by plane or ship, my guess is it maybe a ship, only because of the time frame, but then again i never rule out anything, as everything is a possible.
She was a Nursing Sister at the Brisbane General Hospital (now the Royal Brisbane Hospital)
Her full name was Margarette Gryntje De VRIES (also known as Margaret)
Born 12th May 1916 in Rosewood Qld Aust.
These are the only 2 entries i found of her on the electoral rolls as a single lady are below, the next electoral roll would be in her married name.

Subdistrict: Mount Gravatt.
Lived at Broardwater Road Mt Gravatt. (My Grandmother was with my Grandfather at all the above address on the above years of the electoral rolls)
Their other child & second daughter (my mum) Veronica Violet De VRIES born 1st November 1922 in Rosewood Qld Aust, Died on 21st Feb 2004 at home in Imbil, Qld buried at Gympie Qld, & because of some family rubbish between the 2 sisters, my mum would never give me my aunts married name, as i so would like to try & find my 2 cousins if at all possible, without the surname i am at a loss, & as my husband & i are planning to go to Holland in 2014 & their Floriade is being held in Amsterdam next year, so if i can find my cousins i maybe able to meet them while we are over in Holland.
So somewhere between Margarette being single and on her last electoral roll 1943 & them all leaving Australia somewhere after the 1954 electoral roll as there is no data of my grandparents being in Australia on the next electoral roll of 1959.
*Who did Margarette Gryntje De VRIES Born 12th May 1916 in Rosewood Qld Aust, Marry?? sometime after 1943?? and maybe before 1947.
I was lead to believe that both of my aunts children were born here in Qld, & a couple years different in ages & older than myself, i was born in the Brisbane General Hospital.
I look forward to hearing back from anyone that can give me any thing new to go on in my search of my Aunt's marriage or how they left Qld for Holland.
Have a great day.
Laurain.(Fingers crossed) :-S :-)
