Find Ancestors

Hi members, I am searching my grand daughters partners family, only finding it a bit hard.
Nevill Victor Burke was born in 1944 possibly Australia, he married a Helen Jean Livingstone, sorry that's all the info my grand daughter has, can anyone please look in Ancestry as I'm not a member, many thanks, sorry its not much to go by.
Jill

Where and when did he marry?

Has your relative thought of getting a copy of the cert?

Is the man alive?

No sign of him on Ancestry, as far as I can see.

He certainly wasn't born,married or died in England, Wales, or Scotland, per FreeBMD, GRO, and Scotlands People..

Nothing for either his name or his wife’s on FMP, as far as I can see

Hello Jill and Karen,

I just stumbled on this conversation thread on Google. My partner's mother is a Burke and is Neville Victor Burke's cousin. I have a tree on Ancestry called Young and McIness family tree with Neville's family in it..

Neville Victor Burke was born on 1.2.1944 in Yass, New South Wales, Australia to Dorothy Jane King and Neville Harry Burke and was a communication technician. He married Helen Jean Livingstone in 1965 in Lithgow, New South Wales and only had one child as far as I am aware. He married Kathleen Curtis in Canberra, (date unknown)..

Neville Harry Burke was born on 19.10.1921 in Liithgow to Harold Norman Burke and Myrtle Anne Lamb. His siblings were Arthur William Burke and Frederick John Burke. He was a plumber and died on 28.09.1989 in Summer Hill, New South Wales.

Nathaniel William Burke was born on 22.10.1859 in Hartley, New South Wales to Thomas Burke and Rebecca Wilson. He was a coalminer. His children were Thomas Harold Burke, Rebecca Jane Burke, Harold Norman Burke and John Burke. He died on 29.03.1910 in Bathurst, New South Wales.

Thomas Burke was born on 31.12.1821 in Donegal, Ireland to Matthew Burke and Eleanor Welsh. He was a labourer and arrived in New South Wales on 15.07.1841. His children were Rebecca Burke, Matthew Burke, Nathaniel William Burke, Thomas John Burke, Henry James Burke, Robert John Blackford Burke, Margaret Eliza Burke. He died on 8.6.1876 in Hartley, New South Wales.

Matthew Burke was born on 2.5.1801 in Drumkeen, Donegal, Ireland to John Burke and Rebecca Cuthbert. He was a farm labourer and arrived in New South Wales on 15.07.1841. His children were Thomas Burke, Henry James Burke, Elizabeth Burke, Rebecca Burke, Nancy Ann Burke, Mary Jane Burke, Matthew Burke and David Burke. He died on 7.8.1876 in Hartley, New South Wales.
