Default Finding a long lost relative in Australia

Does anyone know how to go about finding someone in Australia? My son-in-law has had permanent residence for 2 years and told us he believes he has a cousin in Australia, but has no idea where. His uncle (now deceased apparently) emigrated with his grandmother (probably £10 poms), his mother stayed in England and the family lost touch with them.

Just on the off chance that someone who knows her is reading this her maiden name is Sara(h) Morrey and her father was David Morrey.

It isnt a common name you could try the white pages especially if there is a chance that the dad would still be alive and if you can remember which state then you have an even better chance.

You can also check out some of the school reunion sites - www.friendsreunited.co.uk if she went to school in UK and the associated genesconnected site may also be a place to look.

The salvation army family tracing service. l think you need to show proof of your identity and that the person is your relative as you could be some debt collector or stalker chasing after someone.
