Thanks, folks, for such quick replies. I'll now have to go back to UK records and try to find a link between Reuben and my known ancestors.

John, it's Alex Alber Probert, not Albert - I assumed it was an error initially, but he's on several electoral rolls. I found an Alex Probert who sailed Bremerhaven to Sydney 1911, but don't know if it's the same person.

Thanks, Kate

Kate,
Wonder if Alex died in Australia, if so his death cert may well give indications as to relatives parents etc. Also can I ask who you are trying to establish a link to with Reuben.

John,
In 1954 electoral roll I found Joyce Pauline Probert at the same address as Neah Probert in Tasmania. Every other reference to Joyce places her in Queensland, possibly a descendant of Reuben. I know Neah's ancestry and I assume there must be a relationship to the Queensland family as it's not a very common name.

I found "Alic Alber"' but thought it  perhaps should be "Alice".
