Australian Death

#Post
1

I have tracked to Australia the person I am trying to find for my DNA cousin match.
Unfortunately he has passed away but I don't know how to find when and where.
His name was Garry Raymond Smith, would be from 1963 onwards.
Many thanks

I have had a look and it is not the right one. I think he would have died a few years ago not that recent.

www.bdm.vic.gov.au/ is for Victoria deaths up to 30 years ago.

New South Wales is less restrictive

Two brief family trees at Ancestry.com for the 1999 Gary Raymond Smith.
Both say born 20 April. One says 1940, the other 1941.

One says father is Frank William Smith, mother Ellen Rita Cavenagh (1926-1980 Box Hill Victoria).

Can be viewed at any Hutt City library free.

Hi Stock, rover will no doubt reply soon, but yes you have found him for her. No need to keep looking.

You people are amazing. Yes the 1981 one is him. I was hoping to find him alive but it was not to be. I will try and find a notice in the paper.
At least this will give closure to my adoptive cousin match..
