Roland Alfred Bennett
DI Owens
70s, 80s or 90s (sorry to be so vague). He was born in 1915 in
Birmingham. I'm very familiar with UK sources but know nothing at all
about Australian ones. Is anyone able to direct me towards any
resources that can be accessed from the UK?
Any pointers appreciated & more than happy to reciprocate if anyone
needs help on UK sources.

Do you know which state or territory of Australia your great uncle lived?

Unfortunately not - I realise it could be a forlorn hope but its a
loose end that I'd like to tie down. The only information I have is
that he "went to Australia"

Well, I can rule out records at the National Archives, the Ryerson Index and
the Brisbane City Council burial register.

Hi Di,
The National Archives of Australia hold immigration records. See
www.naa.gov.au for more info on just what they hold and how to access
it.
Try the search first but if you don't get anything do check out the
site to
see how complete the indexing and digitising is, and how to get the
info if
it isn't online yet. I haven't had to get into immigration records
myself.
BMDs are kept by the States and Territories. Some are available
online, some
are not. You won't find death records if he died too recently as
Australian
records are not released until a certain number of years (which
differs from State to State) after the event. A list of what is
available
and where to find it is at: http://www.coraweb.com.au/bdmaut.htm
Beyond that, the National Library of Australia has quite a few useful
links
to various newspaper or cemetery indexes and other resources. The page
you're looking for is
http://www.nla.gov.au/apps/eresources/action/browse?tid=145&sid=2
Some are available on the internet, others you might be able to get
someone
to do a lookup for you.
Good luck!

Thanks everyone who chipped in - I'll follow up on the leads given.
Shelly - apologies for the misleading signature - the "DI" is actually
my initials not my name! I've changed the sig before I mislead anyone
else.

Whoops! Not your fault - you'd thing someone on a genealogy list would
be more observant with names, wouldn't you?!

I checked. Only two Roland Bennetts, one Roland Day Bennett, born about
1887, the other Roland Arthur Bennett, born about 1909.
Doesn't look Victoria.....

I have seen Arthur and Alfred interchanged at least twice! Both times it
was the second name. In my experience death registers/certificates often
record the wrong second and/or third given names.

Thanks Margie - his father was Charles William Bennet & mother Kate
Emily Brown so I guess I can eliminate Victoria.

You don't seem to have had any replies for South Australia.
South Australian deaths are on CD up to 1972. - sorry I don't have the
CD's.
I suggest that you subscribe to the SAGEN rootsweb list and ask for a
look-up.
