Hi I’m looking for help to track down my dad and his family, Paul Stephen woods born 1.1.1965 Liverpool England. Immigrated or arrived in Australia on flight QF756 departing london And a document number of 352030.As far as I can work out he might have a brother named Stephen aswell. I have one document that I’m 90% sure is correct but it doesn’t lead me on to anything further. Any help would be appreciated ---

On 2 Dec 1967 Paul arrives in NSW: He’s travelling with JJ Woods (father?): [https://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/NAAMedia/ShowImage.aspx?B=9788500&T=P&S=1521](https://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/NAAMedia/ShowImage.aspx?B=9788500&T=P&S=1521) BJ Woods (mother?): [https://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/NAAMedia/ShowImage.aspx?B=9788500&T=P&S=1373](https://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/NAAMedia/ShowImage.aspx?B=9788500&T=P&S=1373) JS Woods (brother?): [https://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/NAAMedia/ShowImage.aspx?B=9788500&T=P&S=1525](https://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/NAAMedia/ShowImage.aspx?B=9788500&T=P&S=1525) Joseph J Woods & Barbara J Hughes’ marriage is registered in the third quarter of 1962 in district Liverpool South. Lancashire Barbara seems to have been the daughter of Mabel Elizabeth Eagan and John Hughes, and Joseph was most likely the son of the (unmarried) couple John Woods and Mary Wetton. Their birth (and/or marriage) certificates should confirm (or NOT) these family members. ---

Thank you so much, I’ve been stuck on just his for a very long time. Do you have any suggestions on what I should do next? ---

My end goal is to hopefully find them or close family. So what should I do next to try finding them. As the trail stops once they arrived In Australia. ---

The last time I can find the couple is in the 1980 electoral rolls. They are living in “Casla” (=Casula?), Liverpool South, NSW (Werriwa division). Info re later electoral rolls: e.g. [Electoral rolls research guide | National Library of Australia (NLA)](https://www.library.gov.au/research/family-history/electoral-rolls-research-guide) and [Electoral rolls guide](https://mhnsw.au/guides/electoral-rolls-guide/) Another source might be old telephone books (eg via NSW state library) ---

Thank you for your time I will give it a try. Not on topic but told that some Immigrants from Lebanon may have drifted once he arrived, the there was a white man Act (no offense) in place and likely would not had to register for work , etc. ---
