Use this website and change the country to Australia: http://www.familysearch.org/ Or try this website for Victoria Births, Deaths and Marriages: http://online.justice.vic.gov.au/servlet/bdm_home Cheers, Horatia

Thanks loads, ill give them a go now :)

sorry to keep bumping but really need help:)

Try this website too; http://www.whitepages(.)com.au/wp/resSearch.jhtml (remove brackets) You need to do a residential search so click the residential tab then change the state to Victoria. I came up with 14 Claydons in the Metropolitan area. You can also do a Regional Search. Cheers, Horatia

Your a diamond, found the 14 you mentioned, unsure what to do now, should i just write and ask if there related??? i Know the relative im looking for has died or so im told, so it wouldnt be him but could be children grandchildren etc hmmmmmmm

You have nothing to lose but some postage money! Why don't you get the death certificate and then you could see the last address and the informant of the death will be on there. I did a search for an Edward Claydon on the Victoria website for marriages and deaths and two results came up but they wanted money then to view them - but not a lot. Cheers, Horatia

Thanks so much Horatia, youve been really good, ill defo send them all a letter and ya never know i might actually get somewhere Thanks again :) Jennie
