John Douglas KOHN is listed in electoral rolls;

He appears to have married Shirley Veronica GILBERT and had 9? children. I don't know their marriage date or place.
From what I've been told, he died in a tractor accident or similar at Ruffy, Victoria on 16 Jul 1976. Shirley pre-deceased him and they are buried at Yarrawonga.
I am hoping to hear from anyone with information that would confirm who his parents are, his birth date/place, siblings and anything else of use for my family history.

Hi kb,
Neither Ancestry Indexes nor NSW BDM allow a NSW birth search to 1918 so you won't find his birth online if indeed he was born abt 1918 in NSW.

Hi kb,

You can purchase his death certificate online, and download instantly, from the website below:

https://online.justice.vic.gov.au/bdm/index-search?action=ge...

However, there are not any useful details, regarding his parents. Maybe his marriage and wife are mentioned, and his age?

Fathers Surname: Unknown
Fathers Given Name: Unknown
Mothers Maiden Name: Unknown

Hi kb,

Looking at electoral rolls, it seems that John Douglas KOHN, is always listed by himself.

Then searching for Shirley GILBERT, I can only come up0 with a Shirley Beattie GILBERT, at Euroa, not Shirley Veronica GILBERT.

Name: Shirley Beattie Lobban
Residence: 1954 - Euroa, Indi, Victoria, Australia

Name: Shirley Beattie Gilbert
Residence: 1954, 1963, 1968, 1972 - Euroa, Indi, Victoria, Australia

Name: Shirley Beattie Walters
Residence: 1977, 1980 - Euroa, Indi, Victoria, Australia

Then her Will. Date of Death 01.07.2008. And her husband's Will. He died on 28.12.1993

SHIRLEY BEATTIE WALTERS WIDOW Euroa 01 Jul 2008 1308680 VPRS 28/P39, unit 435
