Sunderland to Adelaide

[pbootes]

Hi, I'm looking for anyone related to the BOOTES family who left Sunderland in UK and went to Adelaide before the First World War. Frederick George Bootes and his sons Frederick George, alfred Charles, and Charles Ernest i have found in the National Archives of Australia for their service with the AIF 1914-1918, but there must be some left who are descended from them or can help me further.

Hi

On the AWM website Charles Ernest BOOTES who died in action WW1, the circular attached to his record states 5 brothers enlisted. 3 enlisted Adelaide and 2 in England. Of the 2 in England one died in WW1.

Frederick George appears to have had step-sons enlisted WW1.

Arthur BOITANO
Angelo BOITANO - Killed in Action 1916
Hebert Walter CARR

Also another female member of the family enlisted in WW2 gives Frederick BOOTES as next of Kin.

Hi Paul, I know this is a long shot but am hoping you might get back to this page. Although  not directly related to the Bootes/Boots family, I do have some oral history of my family related to Fred Boots and his family. It seems Fred and Mrs Boots (previously Boitano/Boytano) were well know to my Grandfather Harry Cuthbert and his wife Hanna Dunlop, and would often spend time with them at their dairy farm in Wattle Flat in South Australia in the early 20th century. Most stories and reminiscences are from my mother who remembered them well (mother passed away in 1997). The Boitano's/Boots had the farm next to my Grandparents, and my mother was always raised believing the Boitano's/Boots were her cousins, something Harry Cuthbert insisted upon. I am just starting to look at these connections: Harry's parents were Charles and Mary Ann (nee Beall) who came out from England in 1876 to South Australia, and the story goes somebody knew the Boots in England. Also, apparently Fred Boots may have been in the Merchant Marine with Harry Cuthbert. Both Boitano and Cuthbert received soldier settlements post WW1 which is why they had neighbouring farms in Wattle Flat. Mrs Boots had very bad eyesight, and mother spoke of one incident where Mrs Boots thought she was applying toothpaste to her teeth but it was black shoepolish! There was a definite connection between Cuthbert-Boitano-Boots.

kind regards
