Hi Dea and George,
Sorry i went to bed (at 3am) after posting that. Didn't think anyone would reply! I had forgotten about familysearch so will start with them, thanks Dea.
I'm looking for the following people:
Victoire Marie Shukri, Constance Shukri and their father Razzouk Shukri. there were other children. Am unsure whether they may have been re-named upon leaving Baghdad, as Victoire passed herself off as French when she came to Australia. She married an Australian soldier, John Edward Blakey, who was there during WWI.
Victoire and John had children while in Iraq, and I've found 2 of them using the consular births records at genes. Not sure what i can do with the records, or how to extrapilate further info from them, though.
Thank you!

Would it have any connection to Military births?

Familysearch.org has some Baghdad records.

Who are you looking for and when?
