There is an RW Goosey listed in the phone directory in Victoria, Australia.

Do a Residential search (green tab) on Goosey in Victoria at www.whitepages.com.au/wp

Hope it is him!

That's great news. I have a relation in Canada with full Ancestry access - perhaps she can help me now I have some clues. Thank you very much.

Not got the right sub on Ancestry to view these records

US Public Records Index Volume 1 and 2

Apparently it is from 1950 to 1993

There is a Freda S Farmer listed but no way of knowing if her or not

I haven't a birth for John Goosey but he married in 1933 so it would be prior to 1916. I found a couple of deaths as well but not very local to the family and they have tended to stay in the Northampton area over the years.
There is a John Goosey born Northampton 1903.

Do you know when roughly John Goosey was born ?

Couple of possible deaths - one in 1960 and another in 1963

That looks like the missing Archibald - would you believe I hadn't even thought of war casualties - definitely too long on the computer! lol

No I can't view overseas records but these are possibilities. She would've been a child during these dates so would've travelled with her parents William Frederick and Elsie E Farmer. If there are records for those names which match I would say we're on the right track!
