Hi. I'm new to Rootschat. Hello everyone! I'm helping a friend research her family in Australia (Vic)

Her grandfather was GEORGE CHARLES HAWKINS, born: St Kilda's Vic.
married ELEANOR KISSOCK. They were in South Africa by 1947. She (granddaughter) would love to
know more about them.
Any help would be so appreciated.
