Have done so - under Sidney James Harvey born 28th June 1899.

If that's the case Roslyn, if she is related by marriage, probably wouldn't have any idea what happened to your grandfather.

Do you have a thread about your grandfather? If you do, can you post the link?

When Derek's mother Edith died in 1989 she had lived in a home in Norwood/Croydon area for some years as my grandmother (who died in 1978) used to go and visit her. They all attended my parents wedding in 1947. Really I am trying to find out what happened to Derek's uncle Sidney (my grandfather) who was very close to Derek's dad Hector, Sidney's brother and who went missing circa 1944 but guess everyone would now have died so it will remain a mystery.

Following through - just in case

Subdistrict: Willetton
State: Western Australia
District: Tangney
Country: Australia.
8 Apsley Rd
Still with Roslyn Gay Harvey, warehouse assistant

R G Harvey still has phone book listing in Willetton. However, if they are the same generation, she may be quite elderly/frail. As said before, they may have no connection to your family.

See what the death notices come up with first. If a funeral director is named, they may be willing to tell you if the named Derek was born in England & act as a co-between to Rosyln. You do have a dob as a checking point with them.

There's a reasonable chance that its the correct person. On the other hand it may be someone completely different

Unfortunately Australia have closure on thier BMD. In the case of WA, you can search

Shirley - can you edit your post so that the year of birth is 1932? They'd obviously hit the wrong key to start with, then corrected it.

Could this be relevant? From the Ryerson Index, death notices and obituaries in Australian newspapers.

HARVEY Derek Robert Death notice 21SEP2012 Death at Murdoch Hospice, late of Willetton
The West Australian 25SEP2012

If you were to contact the WA Ask a LIbrarian service, they could look up the details for you. The age at death, if mentioned, might help you decide if its 'your' Derek of someone else.

If it is he, other names on the notice may be relatives. The Ask a Librarian service may be able to back track his previous addesses.

With his parents Hector and Edith

Needs units to view the actual burial record

( Won't give family info though)

Nothing shows other than the birth

Wonder if he came home when his mother died

May be worth getting the death cert to see who the informant was

All I know is that Derek was the only child of Hector & Edith Harvey and that Derek went to New Zealand. No idea if he married of what happened to him.

So who was the informant on the death cert
