MUNN & LEAD Families
« on: Saturday 28 March 09 02:01 GMT (UK) »
Hi

Trying to find when and how these two families arrived in OZ. 

Both families ended up in WA.  The Munn's were William Henry & Charlotte with maybe two kids.  They appear in the 1911 census and were in WA in 1916.  The Lead's were Frederick Marmont & Dorothy Mary who married in 1910 but I can't find in the 1911 census.

Anybody got any ideas please.

Thanks

Bob

Hi,
We are not given any birth dates, but this is probably the interment of William Henry MUNN  of East Fremantle.  He was 67 in 1948.  Does that sound right?

The lease grant, as you see, is to Charlotte Munn.

enter Munn in Search

The LEAD's are there too

Thanks everybody, they are certainly the right families.  That's in spite of my omission of DOB etc.

And Kris, I checked Munn, Munns, Munt, Munts but never thought of MANN.  That just shows the value of this site there is always someone who can think further outside the square than me.  Any idea what LEAD could have been transcribed as that I haven't thought of? ::)

Just to clarify I have:  William Henry Munn b. c1880, wife Charlotte nee Smith b. 13 Jan 1884 Surrey.   Frederick Marmont Lead b. c1879 Birmingham.  Sorry 'bout that. :-[

Cheers

Bob

Hi Cando,
Poor Charlotte died the year of her seocnd marriage.

That's a bit sad :( :( :(
