Reunited Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Hello All who read this, I'm on a long shot really, something that's been eating away at me on and off for 20 odd years. I'm looking for my mother, we emigrated from York, England in 1972 to Perth, Western Australia. Due to unforeseen circumstances things didn't work out and my dad brought me and my sister back to England leaving my mum to start a new life in Perth (all very complicated). My mum's name at the time was Diane Sarah Mooney, she may have changed it back to her maiden name which was Shields or re-married, she'll be 75 or there abouts this year. If anyone has any information about her it would be much appreciated, I'd like to try and contact her and see where things go. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted July 13, 2016 Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Hi, Have you thought of contacting the West Australian newspaper and asking them to run something for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reunited Posted July 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2016 Hello, Sounds like a good idea, I'm going to have a look into this. Is this the paper they call The West? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bibbs Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Or the electoral Roll :- Can see Mooney in 1972. http://search.ancestry.com.au/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=AUSelectoralrolls&gss=sfs28_ms_db&new=1&rank=1&gsfn=Diane%20Sarah&gsfn_x=XO&gsln=Mooney&gsln_x=NS_NP_NN&MSAV=0&uidh=000 No Shields. So I'd assume re-married in the 4 years between. http://search.ancestry.com.au/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=AUSelectoralrolls&gss=sfs28_ms_r_db&new=1&rank=1&gsfn=Diane%20Sarah&gsfn_x=1&gsln=Shields&gsln_x=NS_NP_NN&MSAV=0&uidh=000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
