A  copy  of  one of  the children's birth certificate  in  Victoria  may  help  you  solve a great deal.  After all  one of  the parents  gave the information  which  would  have  more credibility  than  information  on a death certificate  might  have.

Do  you  require any  further information  on  the family  in Western Australi?

hi Jenn


would love more information on this family, it is a real mystery to everyone about George there is talk of him on the ships and either he or his father working as a postman for the royal family in england (possibly Windsor)but unfortunatley when he jumped ship story goes that he was hidding from the law and moved around a lot not an easy feat in those days i have tried the police gazzetes but have had no luck there appears to be a ?mark as to the year he was born may have changed his age to get work, but we do know that he lived his last 20 years in albany western australia a very well liked man and the family involved in the community
