What happened to him?

[pennywinks]

My gt uncle David Hamilton Brazell sailed to Freemantle on 15 December 1925. He died in Brisbane on 17 July 1961. How can I find out what happened in the intervening years? Did he marry? Where did he go? etc. Any suggestions will be gratefully received! Penny

Thank you so much Julie! My aunt will be so pleased. How did you manage to look him up? Do you have access to the Australian Electoral Register or do you have a contact? Your help is much appreciated!

Hi juliejtp

Like pennywinks I would be interested to know whether you obtained your information directly from the Australian Electoral Register or via a contact.

Any possible sources to explore are always useful to know for future reference.

I logged onto Ancestry and managed to find seven further electoral register entries for David Hamilton, but I don't have World membership - can't afford it unfortunately - so copied what there was and emailed them to my sister in Sydney. Hopefully she will be able to fill in the blanks, year, occupation etc. Thanks Julie for pointing me in the right direction! Penny
