HELP!!!
My great-aunt Charlotte A. Bletsoe, left London on the Orient Line steamer OTWAY on 25 April 1913 bound for Fremantle, listed as Domestic. Charlotte was born in 1894 in Brighton, Sussex, UK. I was told that she married a sheep-farmer. I don't know a name. 
Any information is welcome.

Hi again,
I can see by a service record for Herbert George for ww1, that he was born in Oxfordshire and was 28 in 1916 when he enlisted. He was living at Geraldton at that time He was a labouurer and his father, still in UK is his next of kin.
To read this record, search as a guest and enter the name in key words.

Hi
Had a look at the image and the only additonal information is his occupation which is farm hand.
Herbert STRATFORD departed London on 9 Jun 1911 on the ORVIETO on for Australia.

Hello 
You both made my a very, very happy person.
I don't know how you have done it!
Do you have a magical eye to find something?
I will go and try to find anything more.
My granny told me, Charlotte did not have any
children.
Oké, first Charlotte and then i am going to German
sites, to find anything about Beatrice.
Thanks so far!!

Thanks Terra!
The only problem i have now is, why i was told Charlotte married a sheepfarmer. Was it to make it a nice story? Or mayby she divorced Herbert and did indeed married a sheepfarmer? My mind boggles  .

Hi Rozy,
Now, I am not sure what you mean here

She married HERBERT STRATFORD and he was a farmer in rural WA according to the eletoral roll findings [per cando] at Nungarin. Sheep is a likely farm style for him there.
Reply#5 from cando, "farm hand"
Reply # 6 from me re census. If you ask someone may look at the family for you and you might see a farming background.!!
So what you have been told appears to be true. On the basis of what you have given us anyway
BY the way, The PO Directory shows him from in 1922
STRATFORD, HERBERT G. FARMER, NUNGARIN.
