[yorkshiremick]

:arghh::arghh:hi who ever is reading this i am looking for a lost relative who we recently found out is living in perth
he is my mothers lost son who vanished 45 yrs ago and we recently found a message posted by him on a uk website he is looking for my mum or sisters we have replied but as yet got no reply so we are now doing our own thing trying to trace him
i realy need to find him as this time last year my mum found her daughter thad cancer and passed away not long after! she has not realy been the same since so now knowing her son is still out there has given her some hope ! she is 83 yrs old so time isnt on her side
i have tried most obvious things to find him i.e white pages -the police<who were no help> and currently trying salvation army and have posted things on the net e,t.c
someone may know him or know of him he is approx in his early 60s and is known as peter hammond and had lived in the grimsby area ! he was in the merchant navy many years ago and have included a pic of him ! obviously he will have changed since 45 yrs ago but it is the only pic we have

Have you thought of contacting the West Australian Newspaper? It's available on line and they may run a story for you.

Hi Mick

Welcome to Poms in Oz.

This is long shot, but please see this link:

http://www.saltersboats.com/

There is a photo of Peter Hammond, who owns Salters Boats in Fremantle, it seems. His blog speaks of many years experience with commercial fishing, which might - just might - suggest a hook-up with Grimsby, perhaps?

Also, although it is impossible to be sure from the two pix, there might be similarlities in the facial features? The nose looks roughly the same in both pix, ditto hair, and maybe also the quite square jaw?

I found him via using Google Australia and telling it to search Australian web pages only. Then I told it Peter Hammond + Perth. LOADS of links came up so it woould be worth your while to repeat the search. However, generally, people who are involved with boats have been so since a young age.

Best wishes

Gill

Hi there

Have you tried Genesreunited.co.uk? I have used that to trace my family tree back to the 1760's and lots of people seem to have gained contact with Aussie-based relatives through there.

Also, if you go to the "Community" pages, there are kindly souls on there who will help you find relatives if you are drawing a blank, some of them are professional genealogists.

Best of luck to you, let us know how you get on

hi and thanks for your help will try anything at the moment as for years my mum and family have looked but not found anything then all of a sudden my sister typed his name in on a search engine and we found a message posted 6 months ago he is looking for us
we never thought of looking in australia before but he in his message said he was now in perth so its a good start
i guess we will find him eventualy unless he thinks of checking his mail then it will come even faster
i realy thank you for trying to help me and will let you know the outcome
thanks again
regards mick

Maybe google the Australian electoral roll? I understand that you have to vote in Australia, so he should therefore be on the electoral roll.

Good luck.

Does he have a middle name as that would narrow it down on the lists i have access to?
