Thank you all for your help.  This has been a most illuminating journey and is what makes genealogy so interesting.

Thank you amondg,
Most interesting and another mystery is developing. 
I definitely know Laurence and Phillip are the issue of Louise Bush nee Simpson and Franz Nickolay so this is the same Louise. As per a previous post Charles Alfred Bush died in 1943 so she must have divorced him in order to re-marry in 1939 to James Harris.  This is going towards verification that she did not marry Franz Nickolay.

Wow. Thank you soo much for your information.  It also confirms the fact that Louise was married as Bush, before becoming the "housekeeper" for Franz Nickolay.  He left his wife Susan sometime between the Census of 1901 and 1911, and he and Louise had the 2 boys, Lawrence and Philip.  The very new information is that of Harris.  Adds some more interest to the Franz Nickolay story.  Louise Bush was named as the beneficiary of his will, and I have not found any evidence of either of them gaining a divorce from their spouses.  Might you know how I can obtain the Census 1921 information?
Once again, thank you for your help.

London and Middlesex / Charles Francis Bush
« on: Friday 14 February 25 06:20 GMT (UK)  »
I am researching Charles Francis Bush born Marylebone 1st quarter of 1902.  Found this info. in Births index which gives the reference Vol.1a Page519.  There is no indication of the parents names.  I am fairly sure his mother is Louise Bush.  In the 1911 Census Charles Francis Bush is living with his mother Louise Thresa Bush and Franz Nickolay.  My main interest is to identify his father and to identify Louise Bush in the 1921 Census which I have been not been able to access.  Any help would be much appreciated.

London and Middlesex / Re: "Hooghly" departure 1829 for Freemantle Australia

I have just found your post and now down a complete rabbit hole from my original search on a completely different topic.
"A Bicentennial Dictionary of Western Australia" compiled by Rica Erickson lists the family of Joseph Broughton.  If you go to www.friendsofbattyelibrary.org.au the entry is on p332 of Volume 1 for B surnames.  This is a thoroughly researched tome by an eminent historian.  She gives the children as Henry born 1816, Ann Elizabeth 1817, William 1818, Thomas 1822 Mark 1825 James 1826 and Robert born 1833 in Western Australia.  Joseph born 1796 and Jane 1794.  I downloaded the PDF but not sure how to post the relevant section onto this forum. It is a free download.  BTW the spelling is Fremantle.

Australia / Re: Junior Red Cross in 1950s at School

I don't remember ever having meetings or any set agenda.  My only recollection is that my parents paid a membership fee every year and we marched as a group in the Anzac march in our local country town, wearing a red cardigan and a white nurses-like head dress and probably a white dress.

Kent / Re: Mockford Alley Tenterden
« on: Tuesday 11 January 22 14:47 GMT (UK)  »
Thank you all for your information.  After looking at the maps and other documents, all the names allude to the same Alley which is now named Mockford Alley and is off the High Street.  Tenterden have a facebook page and a photo showed a John Tamkin outside his fishmonger shop in the High street.  My Grandmother mentioned her Grandfather smoking herring, so that fits her story.  My line of thought at this stage is that the business was taken over by John junior as he was the oldest son.  The search continues.  Once again thank you bkr188

Thank you all for your information.  This gives me the best leads I have had about this family.  Stephen Tamkin was my grandmothers father so important that I get the correct family.  Shall contact the Tenterden History Society and I have just found a Tenterden site on Facebook which might be useful. Just wondering Maddys52 where the baptism records are available.  Thank you all once again.

Thank you for all your help :) Have heeded your suggestions and found many of the pieces of information vary the spelling of Proper nouns.  This has at least given a few new clues regarding some of the ancestors.
