Australian Record Lookup - Kenneth Sheils

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Hi
Wondering if anyone can help. Looking for Kenneth Sheils marrying June Elizabeth Murray around 1943-1948 in Carlton Victoria Australia. Only married for about 5 years to each other.

Trying to locate Kenneth Sheils birth - parents are An Ernest Prescott Sheils and mother is Evelyn Goodwin. DOB is about 1919. The parents are on the electrol role in Yarram Victoria in 1924. Even any other siblings.

I also believe Kenneth Sheils may have a prison record in Victoria and wondering where if possible I may be able to find this as well. He would be 97 years old so I am unsure if he is alive. Can anyone offer some assistance.

Thank you in advance for any guidance and help!

Regards
Reoinna

Did he have the middle name Ernest? There is an article here about a Kenneth Ernest Shiels born c 1921.

and another.

'He had left his place in Fitzroy because his marriage had broken up,' is written in this one dated October 1956.
