Geoffrey Glennie Rickards

[Archivist_47]

Born 31 Dec 1896 in Queensland, Australia. Married Edith May Quatermass (11 Oct 1900 Hemel Hempstead) on 25 August 1928 in Queensland. How did she get to Australia. And how can I follow their family in Australia?

[CaroleW]

She presumably boarded a ship at some point and went to Australia either as a child or an adult
