Vic death look up please

[Tracey Joy Kelly]

maybe she gave birth to an ellen in SA that died and an Ellen in NSW 
but there is definately an Ellen that died in NSW  as i saw it.

i really feel for that women. to have had so many babies and have so many died at such a young age.
she died from exhaustion at the age of 36
one year after my great grandfather was born.
apparently they were brought up by a scottish woman and when he was 12 he went to wa and lived with his older sister Nellie (Ellen)

There is a Charles William Barham in Coolgardie, Western Australia in 1906 and 1910. Then in 1919 and 1925 he is in Kennedy, Queensland and then in 1942 and 1954 he is in Maribyrnong, Victoria

The Charles William Barham in VICTORIA isn't him, he died 1978 & his parents were Norman BARHAM & Eileen FRANKLIN.

Charles would probably be too old to serve in WW1 but he could have served in the Boer War

this site might help you

i did have a lookon the CWGC website and there are some Australian Wheatleys named

[Tracey Joy Kelly]

hey Toni

what is the CWGC?  i have looked on the australian war memorial site and i rang them up too. hes not on there. 

my family did say that he lied about his age ... said he was older to get into the war.  if he was born in 1881 he would have had to lie about his age to get into the Boer war..  the problem is i cant find him in the boer war records.

Toni

if he did go to the Boer War. He would of been living in Victoria before going away. because that is where the family was situated. in 1901 James sent his youngest son to western australia to live with his youngest daughter Ellen  she was 19 and married to Cecil Kenworthy they owned a boarding house.

then at some stage James moved over to western australia himself.
 
apparently some of the men that wanted to go went to new zealand to register  i havent tried looking there yet.. it just feels like a needle in a hay stack lol
