Update on Frank Logan.

[flogged]

at first I was told he was born in 1866, but then I told sister he arrived in 1859, so of course that would change things there, a birth date was not remembered, so great aunt would have trouble with memory.

I am refering to the date of birth he gives in his naturalisation particulars.  This does not depend on memory

Kris, I do see what you mean and I think you are right.  It means thier current place of residence, not their place of birth.

Bit ambiguous

On the Naturalization cert it has only the date of issue of cert, the date he arrived in Victoria and how many years he had live there, there is no birth date or other date noticable.

On page 3 of the 5 pages it says
"My age is 76 and I was born on 24th February 1831"

My not looking further I suppose, in naa it said 3 reports, I looked at them and first on the page was Julius with naturalization, the other 2 were for his 2 sons.

Flogged,
I am wondering whether you are using the NAA site to its fullest.

On the display page which you have found, you will see "view digital copy ' on the part where the Naturaliation details are.
Click on that and the fuller document will open Turn its pages with the arrows at the top of the document.

hope it works

Thankyou Sue, and an apology to you all, normally it is my hubby doing all this stuff, I am not to smart with the use of a computer and really don't know what to look for apart from when I go into ebay, I am lost everywhere else but in ebay, and I am not blonde.

It appears that Agnes, wife of Thomas, parent to Francis Alexander passed away before 1918 when Francis enlisted for service.
