I reside in Perth Western Australia and hope very much that someone out there may be able
to help with information regarding my father Anthony Bryan Chalmers. My father left the
family home in Perth when I was litle more than 10 back and I never saw or heard from him
again until authorities tracked me down in 1989 to inform me he had passed away on 17
April 1989.
My mother recently passed away in July this year but, throughout her life, wasn't
exactly forthcoming with details about him so I only have 'broad' pieces of
information to go on.
I believe he was born on 31 December 1929 in Echuca Victoria and came to Western Australia
sometime in the late 1950's where he lived with my mother; dying in Fremantle in 1989.
His Death Certificate did not list his parents but, if true, confirmed he was born in
Echuca; however, applications for his birth certificate in both Victoria and New South
Wales returned
'No Record' results suggesting his birth was not registered.
I believe he is most likely a member of the family of Archibald Gordon and Ethel Olive
Alice Chalmers as they are the only Chalmers family I have found on
Ancestory.com with a
large number of children. One of the few cherished possesions I have of my father is a
photograph of him with 5 brothers and 5 sisters, in which he appears to clearly be the
youngest.
I would greatly appreciate any information / clarity anyone out there can provide to me to
build a history of my father and his family.
Thank you
Shelley
