[Irene Whennan]

I have the details f my great-great-grandfather from the time he arrived in Australia. I also know he was born in Birmingham 5th March 1829. He was a twin but I have no name for this twin who later in life emigrated to America. Can anyone please help?

For the marriage solidrock found

Happy to post the details if this sounds correct

Thank you very much but I am not going any further back.
I am so pleased that I have a name for my great-great-grandfather's twin brother.
Thank you again for your help.

You seem to know your way around census sites so I was wondering if you could search for another branch of my tree.
My great-grandfather Peter Edward Lester came to South Australia and married Matilda Jane Woodbridge in 1873 in Adelaide.
I have an approx date of his birth as per marriage cert. 1836 and his father is listed as John Lester.
I have everything I need from this day on but have no idea from whence this man Peter came.
Matilda was born 11 nov 1848 in Berwick Middlesex.
I really just want a birth date and place for Peter and I can possibly find more out from that. Thanking you in advance .... just pointing me in the right direction to start would be ample but every site I go to wants money. Cheers, Irene

Will have a look for Peter, but in the meantime re Matilda there is no “Berwick”, Middlesex.  Her birth was registered Dec qtr 1848 St James Westminster, so perhaps this is a reference to Berwick Street, Westminster?
