Hello,
Is there an Australian site to search for births, marriages & deaths, or specifically for any of the different states please?
or
Can anyone help me with this family please?

1881:
Dwelling: 17 Bedford St
Census Place: Stoke Damerel, Devon, England
Source: FHL Film 1341533 PRO Ref RG11 Piece 2212 Folio 68 Page 13
Marr Age Sex Birthplace
Thomas SOBEY M 27 M St Budeaux, Devon, England
Rel: Head
Occ: Carpenter
Mary A.A. SOBEY M 28 F Devonport, Devon, England
Rel: Wife
Florence A. SOBEY 1 F Stoke Damerel, Devon, England
Rel: Daur
Clara J. SOBEY 2 m F Stoke Damerel, Devon, England
Rel: Daur

No sign of them in England 1891 & 1901 censues.
Mother, Mary Ann Amelia, was nee GITSHAM

I *think* they might have also had John Joseph G. SOBEY Dec ΒΌ 1882 Stoke Dameral
This is probably John Joseph Gitsham SOBEY apparently born 19 Sep 1882 Plymouth, married Annie UNKNOWN & enlisted into the "Citizen's Military Forces" at Brisbane. (source: http://www.naa.gov.au/)

I have a note that father Thomas *might have* died from a fatal injury caused by a horse in 1911 Brisbane.

I have other SOBEYs (and a SOBEE) who went off to Australia and would love to trace b,m & ds for them.

Thanks,
Louise
