Researching Marie Bradshaw of Sydney Australia
nikidav
My Grandfather, James Bernon Nolen, was in WWII stationed in Australia, and other places in the South Pacific. He had married a Marie Bradshaw in, I think, 1943 or 1944. He was then sent back to the states in 1945 and she did not want to return with him. They were divorced on May 21, 1946. The reason I would like to find her or her family, is that I was told by my uncle that Marie was pregnant when he returned to the states, and that they have a half brother in Australia somewhere. If this is true we would like to find him so that I can complete our family history.

REGISTRAR OF BIRTHS, DEATHS AND MARRIAGES, NSW, AUSTRALIA
Purchase their Marriage Certificate Online
James Bernon NOLEN and Marie Heather BRADSHAW were married in 1944 at Marrickville, New South Wales, Australia.
I can't be sure that this is the same lady, but there is a marriage record in 1950 of a Marie Heather NOLEN marrying Kevin Edward LYNCH at Waverley, New South Wales.
Perhaps you will find her birth record here - births after 1905 to 1918

Maybe you might have some luck here posting a new message:-
BRADSHAW family genealogy forum
or
Whitepages online search for an Australian business, government or person.
That's the best I can do for now. Good luck,
