Find Ancestors

My grandad was named William carey and he died approx 1975 give or take a year on a visit to Australia. I have searched the records and can't seem to find any matches. My aunt says the death should be registered in district of middlesex UK His middle name was Henry apparently.

(was below relating?, born 1910)

Thanks for the help everyone. Im actually looking for anything about my grandfather who was born in 1910 but was apparently illegitimate. He may have been born in Galway Ireland and then he came to the UK. I dont know whether he took his mothers name because the father was left behind etc. I cant find much on him. His name was William Henry Carey and his mothers name was Kathleen. I have his marriage and death records later on but nothing about his ancestors etc.

If he died in Australia why would his death be reg in the UK ?

Who/Where did he Marry, sounds like you know more... where does Middlesex come in, and would he be on 1939 Register? (Find My Past)

Thanks for the help. I found him at NSW BDM. And AustinQ thanks for that info. I ended up finding that also. Id forgot all about that previous post 8 years ago!

As there is just the burial record it looks likely he was brought home to be buried

As he is your grandfather. Who did he marry and when ?

The cert may give some info re famiiy and the witnesses could be famiiy too
