Yes that is the family!

Thank you very much  :)

I have pictures of all of the family but never had any information.
How would I go about looking into Australian BMD records??

Australia / Tracing relatives from 1920/30's

I was wondering if somebody could offer some advice as I am looking to find out information regarding my G/Grandfathers brother who emigrated to Australia sometime after the First World War.

His name was Edward Shotton and he was born in Northumberland, England in 1897 and emigrated to Queensland (last known in Rockhampton in 1936).
He was married and had 3 children (Edward, Peggy & Joyce)

Where would I possibly find records on his (and his childrens) lives??

Many Thanks!

I have a Scottish Marriage register copy of my G/G Grandparents but can hardly read the text on it.

If anybody could read this handwriting it would be a great help as I am stumped.  ???

It is the top marriage on the page between John Tucker & Catherine McManus.

Northumberland / Re: missing marriage record?
« on: Tuesday 12 September 06 12:04 BST (UK)  »
I have found almost the same problem myself.

My G/G/G Grandfather George Shotton married a woman called Mary Fettis at some point  between 1851-1861 but I have yet to find their marriage record. He was from Longhoughton and she was from Belford so I would imagine they would have married in that area. I have been looking for this record for months and have had no luck as of yet  :(

I have found GR fairly useful so far, I have met members with the same ancestors as myself and we have swapped information and everything has gone fairly well.

If you dont want others to 'steal' your hard work then dont put it on in the first place, it is give and take in my opinion. Sometimes you will take info and sometimes you will give. If it helps others gain further insight into their family history then it is fine by me if they want to use some of my information.
