Sorry, forgot to say that I have UK census info for Flora in 1881, 1891, and 1901.
Judith, thanks for the offer of going to the Library, but I might even venture in myself.

Wow!
Many thanks charlotte, Kris, Judith and Sue for the quick and very informative replies.
I now know that there was at least another son, William, didn't know that. That is them on the electoral rolls.
Flora died in Westmead in 1971, so she lived to a good age. I'll definitely be looking at the WWII records as well.
Still leaves the question of how George got here to begin with??
I'm not too concerned with his ancestors, as he married in to the family, but I'm certainly interested in his children, my father's cousins.
Thanks again.

Australia Lookups completed / COMPLETED. RIDDEN - how did he get here?

Hi all,
I'm new here and have found some very interesting reading on this site. Can anyone give me any suggestions as to how my great aunt's husband may have come to Australia from England?
Flora Ridden (nee Burgin) arrived here in 1907, departed England in April, with her infant son only, no husband George. I have searched the passenger records but I can't find him anywhere. I assume he came out at some stage, because there was a 2nd Ridden child born here in 1908, although I suppose it's possible she was pregnant before she left.... There are 2 George Ridden's in the NSW deaths, but I don't know if either of them are him.
Flora was born in 1876, Fulham, England, and I'm assuming George was around her age, though one shouldn't assume.
Thanks in advance for any tips.
