View Full Version : Australian records
Is there anywhere to search for possible marriages and deaths post 1960's please? Probably in Queensland.
I've found some possible elector rolls on ancestry but unable to confirm whether if one of them is the right person.

Deaths go up to 1991, marriages 1946 and births 1921.

Thanks Maggie
So there’s no way of searching for a marriage after 1967

I don't think so Julie.
NSW goes up to 1971.
Thanks - I've let him know.

We (here in Aus) are so concerned with privacy and identity theft, that many records of the 20th century are withheld !!
If only it was a few years earlier (in the 1950s) you might have picked up a notice or article about the wedding in a local paper. Most of the papers on Trove finished at the end of the 1950s but a number of small and regional newspapers have been digitised into the 1960s and 1970s.
You might also be able to match up the names from the electoral roll with death notices (if you think they might have died) in the Ryerson Index.
Thanks Marquette
Person might still be alive but if married wouldn’t know what name to look for.
Do you have any idea where in Qld? I’m happy to have a search around if you want to pm me.
