Hi PatLac

.... Yes, it's possible someone might be forthcoming with additional information (re: Henry Edward STRATFORD) ...  replies to threads are not always immediate though.

Thanks, Lu. I'm patient

Lu, thanks so much for the link!

Maybe I should start a new thread asking for information on Henry Edward Stratford? He was quite known in New South Wales (lots of notices on Trove), but there are many inconsistencies regarding his age and nothing about this parents.

Yes ... splendid idea.        

Set up your new thread on the Australian RootsChat board ...  but also include a link back to this New Zealand thread (for reference).

Good luck.

Precisely because the members of that blog aren't interested and this forum looks to me to be the best place for a lively discussion.

Merlin,

I want to know if Henry Edward Stratford, who lived in Melbourne around 1854 and moved to New South Wales and lived there until his death in 1890 is the son of the 5th  Earl of Aldborough and consequently brother of Charles Alexander Stratford, the grandfather (or great grandfather) of Dorothy Jean Robertson, the wife of Carl Webb (The Somerton Man).

I know the OP is not around, but I'd like to register my findings regarding the posts about Mary Stratford (Gerrard) and her daughter Charlotte Stratford (Gerrard).

According to the West Surrey Family History Society website, both died (or were interred) at Lambeth, St. Philip, on the same day, 16 Aug 1875, under the surname STRATFORD. I've sent them an email requesting more information, but the person responsible is on hols until early April.

Georgina Stratford Gerrard was buried at the Bagshot Burial Ground, St. Anne's Church, in 1904.

The person hasn't replied yet, but this date is probably from other Mary and Charlotte, because other Stratfords have the same date attached to them.
