Aaron Woodcock born 1865
« on: Saturday 03 December 16 13:05 GMT (UK) »
Aaron was born in 1865 in Rotherham, Yorkshire the son of John Woodcock & Sarah An[r]tcliffe.

I found a record of him going to Australia in 1884
Name:   Aaron Woodcock
Birth Year:   abt 1865
Age:   19
Arrival Date:   21 Aug 1884
Vessel Name:   Australasian

I found a marriage for him with children on an ancestry tree [so not verified by me]
married Susan Mary Levey 1861-1932
children
Norman Reuben Woodcock 1895-1994
Arthur George Aaron Woodcock 1897-1960
Percival Leonard Harcliffe Woodcock 1899-1899
Herbert Wilfred Leslie Woodcock 1901-1962
Edith Clara Selina Woodcock 1909-1919

& a death record
Name:   Aaron Woodcock
Death Date:   21 Oct 1938
Death Place:   Queensland
Father's name:   John
Mother's name:   Sarah Harcliff
Registration Year:   1938
Registration Place:   Queensland
Registration Number:   B041453
Page Number:   2059

Where did Aaron live & work in Australia? Without naming any living people on this forum [pm me please] can I trace any descendants of Aaron & Susan? Do any of these names ring bells with a rootschat member? Aaron was brother to George Woodcock a great grandfather of a friend in Nova Scotia whose tree I am researching.

Many thanks, Josey
