I'm looking for information on the death of Ernest Frank Hill who was born on 7th December, 1906 Westbury, Somerset.  Baptism date 2nd January, 1910.  Ernest married on 24th May, 1926 Horfield, Bristol to Annie Whittaker also known as Nancy.  Ernest and Annie immigrated to Western Australia with their young daughter Pearl departing London on 27th November, 1928, arriving in Fremantle, Western Australia 28th December, 1928.

Annie (Nancy) passed away on 2nd October, 1932 in Perth.  Their daughter was later adopted as Ernest could no longer look after her and continue to work. There is no death certificate for Ernest in Australia, I can't find any travel information of him returning to England.  He has in effect disappeared.  The information available that Ernest died in 1940 and was buried in Karrcatta in Perth in incorrect.  It's a plaque placed in memorandum with an assumed death date.

I'm doing this research on behalf of my SIL whose mother was Pearl.  I would appreciate any help.  This may the wrong forum to be asking, my apologies if this is the case.

Thank you,
Anne

I am currently researching my husbands family and am looking for information and details for Charles Schomberg who was apparently born at sea in 1805 according to the 1861 U.K. census.  I don't have his parents names or know whether he had any siblings.  He married a Henrietta La Marchant about 1856 but am unable to trace any record of a marriage certificate.  Charles and Henrietta had at least three children, their son Junius was born in 1858 and emigrated to Australia at some point before 1885 when he married Hope Thuell.  On the birth certificate of Junius it states that Charles occupation was a 'pay master military train' and on the 1861 census, a retired Lieutenant.  I hope these details may be helpful in someone tracing this elusive family, I've spent many hours trawling but to no avail.  Many thanks for your help.  Anne

I am trying to find the death certificates of William and Ann Ashby, my 3rd great grandfather and grandmother who immigrated to Australia somewhere between 1823 and 1840.  William was baptised on 15 August, 1786 in Crowland, Lincolnshire.  Ann (nee Jordan) was baptised on 23 January, 1791 in Honington, Lincolnshire.  They were married 9 January, 1821 in Yaxley, Huntington, England.  They had two sons born in England, Samuel baptised 6 August, 1821 Crowland, Lincolnshire and died in 1878 Victoria, Australia.  William was baptised 21 March, 1823 Crowland, Lincolnshire.  He married Catherine Waters in Port Fairy, Victoria, Australia 27 July, 1856 and died 27 September, 1908 Collingwood, Victoria, Australia.  Two daughters were born to William and Ann in Australia with a gap of 17 between the second son and first daughter.  Mary Ann was born in 1840 Maitland, New South Wales, marrying Sampson Carrison 22 December, 1864 in Port Fairy/Belfast, Victoria. She died 17 October 1919 Northcote, Victoria.  On her death certificate it states she had been living in Victoria for 69 years which leads me to believe she moved to Victoria about the age of 11.  Elizabeth was born 1843, Sydney, Australia and died 4 December, 1925 in Victoria. 
I have been unable to find the death certificates of either William or Ann and am also trying to find out when they arrived in Australia.  Because of the age gap between William Jnr and Mary Ann, I'm wondering of William Snr came to Australia first and Ann followed much later with the children.  If this information is correct, then Ann would have been over 50 when she gave birth to her two daughters.  If anyone can assist me in tracing this information or point me in the right direction I would be most appreciative. 
Thank you.
