I have just had a look at familysearch and they have Richard James' parents as Richard William Peter James Ludlow and Elizabeth Lily Gray.
More checking required I think.

That is the family I have found with the 8 children I mentioned in my original post, I just don't know if that is the family I am looking for, but now Peter James and Lily may be making sense, not quite sure.

Hi Jackie,

Okey dokey, that is a completely different path again. Back to the drawing board.

Yes the only concrete information I have was from the obituary which I have 100% confirmed is his.

Thank you.

You are very welcome, just PM me a list if you like. I have photographed most of the cemetery and may already have photos that you are after, if not it is no problem at all to take some for you.
Kind regards,
DropBear
P.S. The photos that I take are of both the Bundaberg General & Lawn Cemetery and the Catholic Cemetery.

Hi Cynthia,

Jacquie is the best resource for Canada lookups on this forum. Her help has been invaluable in my research and without her I would have been stuck a few times.

I am directly related.

Melvin Roy being my cousin
His father Robert being my Great Great Grand Uncle
and Robert's father Thomas is my Great Great Great Grandfather

I have sent you a PM

I look forward to sharing

Hello there Julie,

I am not sure if you are still persuing this man, but I have done a wee bit of research for you on the  William Henry Kemp in Bundaberg so you can perhaps confirm or disregard him.

The obituary for the William Henry Kemp in Bundaberg states that he died on the 18 February 1953 in the Bundaberg General Hospital. It states he came to Australia 67 years ago with 60 of those years in Bundaberg. So that would have him going to Australia in about 1886. It also states that he married Agnes Annie Gerhart and was an Engine Driver for the sugar mills. It names 4 sons and 4 daughters. I will not name them as they may still be alive, although one of his daughters is buried beside him and Agnes is buried with him. It does not mention other family.

Now the burial record gives him as being born in England and his age gives a birth of about 1869.
The death register gives his parents as Henry Kemp & Catherine Young.

That's what I have found in regards to the William Henry Kemp who lived in Bundaberg.

If this turns out to be your man, please PM your email address as I have photographed his stone and his daughters. I also have a copy of the burial register and obituary.

Hoping this is your man 

Kind regards,
