Can anybody help me as I seem to have run out of ideas of where to look next.
My great uncle Harry WILSON dob Dec 1883 Stockport, Cheshire, England. I have him on the 1891c and the 1901c. I have him on the 1911c stationed at the Royal Naval Barracks, Portsmouth, Hampshire, England. I believe he flew some of the first planes during WW1.
The last known fact of Harry is that he emigrated to Perth, Australia, where he managed an estate for Count ??. He married and had two daughters but who he married and where they are now I don't know.
Has anybody got a bright idea, please???

Hi, maybe a search of some Perth newspaper archives might help? The Count bit would narrow the field and may have given your Harry some press?
can't think of anything else...
maybe there is a WA site that has vital records on it?

There is a Harry WILSON, born 17 Oct 1883 Stockport England, enlisted in Claremont WA for WW2'.
Next of kin: Grace WILSON.
Go to:
http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/recordsearch/index.aspx
And search as Guest, for keyword(s): HARRY WILSON GRACE
It will be the 2nd of 2 hits.
I note per: FreeBMD that your Harry's birth was registered in Dec Qtr 1883 Stockport - was he actually born in that month too - as an October birth would normally be registered in the Dec Qtr?
Cheers

Hi pottydotty,
Been having a play with this 
There is leaving London 7 Feb 1829 for Fremantle aboard the BELTANA
WILSON Grace A last address 73 Durnford St Stonehouse Plymouth housewife aged 43
WILSON Miss Lenie P M a Clerk aged 18
WILSON Charles H School aged 12
also notice JOSE Horace R B same address a salesman aged 23
1911 we have
Harry, Grace Annie and Leanie Phyllis Mary listed in Plymouth. You mention him being on the base in Hampshire in 1911 - looks like he is enumerated twice 
Harry WILSON = Grace Annie JOSE Sep 1/4 1909 Redruth
WILSON Leanie P M born Devonport Sep 1910 5b 265
also possibly
WILSON Ellen C mother Jose born Sep 1913 W.ham 4a 979
not spotting young Charles
1901 Grace is in Hayle (Phillack) Cornwall with her family. She is aged 16 b Phillack. G

Please Note: The address in 1936 Electoral Roll is actually 170 Broome St not Browne St.
Looking at Directories. The family appear at that address. First appearing in 1936 and remaining there for a number of years. Alas all the entries I have found only list the address and name WILSON - nothing else..........Kris

No harm caused Jenn, couldn't find Browne in the directories and there at 170 Broome was Wilson, so checked the Electoral Roll. Just thought I should let poster know the correct address for their records.
We all are all only human and humans make do mistakes. Me Included. I make lots.
