We are the children of the late Desmond Roy Lawder and Patricia (Vogh/Voight Born:21/07/1920 Toowoomba, Died: 13/11/1996, Southport, QLD ) formerly of Toowoomba QLD (Moved to Southport,Gold Coast,in the 1950's)

Our families are keen to find out more about our family tree and to hopefully make contact with other members of the Lawder family as we are a dying breed here in Australia! :)

We look forward to hearing from anyone with information.
Kind regards, The Lawders of Queensland, Australia.
