Australia / Re: Harry WILSON - WA

Hello,
Jenn, I think you are right about Charles Henry being born in Ireland. I have just been searching The Marines movements around that time and they were certainly at a big naval base at Castletown, County Cork during W1. So Harry could have been there. I have found a birth for Charles Henry Apr/Jun 1916 unfortunately they don't give mother's name so I will have to send for the cert.
Also, I have written to WA nespapers and see what they come up with. If I feel sure that I have the right chap I will send for his death cert and see if he had any children.
Thanks for your help - I'm getting nearer those Aussie rellies

Hello Again,
How come I can sit here for hours pouring over all the Au. gov. sites. and come up with zilch, then I ask a
and look what turns up
Jenn, you have got me thinking - as I can't find his birth cert. in UK perhaps he was born in Ireland. His father, Harry was in the Royal Marines and could have been posted there. Little job for tomorrow!!
Cando, There are two marriages that could be his - he just COULD have gone to Freemantle on a trip, work or holiday and met the girl of his dreams
My heavens!!! If we keep on like this we might find he had children and I could honestly say I have Aussie rellies!!
Thanks to both of you for your help.

Thanks for that Cando.
I'm really building up a picture of this man.
Now I have to try and find out what happened to his son Charles H WILSON.
He is a real mystery man. I reckon he was born in UK about 1916/17 but can't find a birth cert. He is on the boat with sister and Mum. Then he disappears until he is mentioned on Harry's death cert in 1962 then he disappears again. I can't find him on WA 1936 poll and I can't find him returning to UK.
Australia is a big place and Charles Wilson is a very, very common name!!

Hello Cando & Co,
I have now received the death cert of Harry WILSON. He died 24 Dec 1962 at Royal Perth Hosp.. His home address was Flat 4 Mountainside Flats, Mounts Bay Rd. He was a retired schoolmaster.
His daughter Leonie Phyllis Mary is down as deceased and his son Charles H WILSON was 46. So Charles was his son and there wasn't another daughter as I'd been led to believe.
BUT I can't find any birth record for him. He must have been born in UK in 1916/17 as he is on the Beltana passenger list. The only birth I can find is another Harry born in Stockport but he died a year later. I have tried looking on the Perth 1936 polls but he doesn't seem to be there. Do you have any other ideas where I could look?
Also is there any chance I could find out where Harry was teaching? We are all very excited about finding Harry, especially the rellies in Canada!!
Thanks again
Potty

Hi Barbara,

Hello Barbara,
I am not sure where my SWAIN family started but I have been able to trace them from 1766 in Liverpool. My particular branch Walter SWAIN moved to Wallasey about 1860. His son Henry was one of the councillers who started the Guinea Gap Swimming pool. I went to see it and the old homes last year and it is still well used.
Other branches of the family went to various parts of Cheshire, Lancs and Middlesex.
Please let me know if we do have rellies in common. If you send me a private email we could exchange private addresses and I can send you more of my tree.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Hello All,
Here I am again looking for advice.
Thanks to Kris:-
There is leaving London 7 Feb 1829 for Fremantle aboard the BELTANA
WILSON Grace A last address 73 Durnford St Stonehouse Plymouth housewife aged 43
WILSON Miss Lenie P M a Clerk aged 18
WILSON Charles H School aged 12[/size] But try as I might I can't find Harry WILSON. I presumed he went earlier but don't know when or how - perhaps he went with the Marines but it sounds improbable.
Cando found Harry's death for me. But can some-one tell me how to purchase the certificate? I can't find a cert. number or where to send for it? Can I pay in ££s?
WILSON Harry
79 years Died 24 Dec 1962 At Perth
Buried at Karrakatta Cemetery
Crematorium Rose Gardens Section T Gravesite 0243
Sorry to be a nuisance again but I really do want to get Harry WILSON and family sorted out.
