Hampshire & Isle of Wight / Re: Wyatts in Fordingbridge
« on: Sunday 21 August 11 04:36 BST (UK)  »
I can answer your query on what happened to Francis Albert Wyatt, b. 16 Jan 1857 at Fordingbridge to Charles Wyatt and Mary Ann Cutler.
Francis was my G.G. Grandfather and emigrated to Australia as a 20 year old, arriving in Adelaide, South Australia, on 1 Feb 1877 aboard ship "Lochee".
Francis married Adelaide Cooke, before moving to Victoria, becoming a farmer in the Wimmera and Mallee region of Victoria. Francis died on 22 December 1907, wife  Adelaide passing away in 1954 at the age of 94. They had six children, including my Grandfather Arthur James Wyatt b. 1888 at Mount Pleasant, South Australia.
G.G. Grandchildren of Francis Albert still farm the same land to this day.
Regards,
Ken

Family History Beginners Board / searching Talbot (west Bromwich) & Giles (Oldbury) families
« on: Monday 15 December 08 08:58 GMT (UK)  »
Grandparents Walter Talbot (West Bromwich) and Annie Giles (Oldbury) emigrated to Victoria Australia  in 1922, leaving behind large families on both sides.
Married Carters Green, West Bromwich 1919.
Walter was UK returned serviceman from First World War.                                                              Walters parents William Talbot and Maria (Smith) and Annies parents Thomas Giles and Ann.        Have researched as much as possible using Census, however I would like to make contact with someone from the many family members that would still be living in area to confirm my records and hopefully add to them.
Belongings of Grandparents contain many old photographs of family in UK and maybe someone could assist my family in naming many of those in these photos.
