SLADER from Devon to Australia
« on: Monday 28 June 21 10:51 BST (UK) »
John SLADER died at Charlton, Victoria in 1910.

He is listed on the 1908 Electoral Rolls as living at Yawong and working as a laborer.

John was baptised 12 October 1845, at High Bray, Dervon. His parents were William Slader and Mary Ann nee Westcott.

I believe he came to Victoria between 1900 and 1908 but can't find any sign of him in records I've looked at.

Thanks in advance

Dale

If I've got the right John Slader, he was still in Devon in 1901

Or perhaps this one, still in Devon in 1901

Many thanks to all replies - I had thought John was still in Devon til 1900.

However it definitely looks like the 1881 record is him.

Very grateful for all the prompt replies

No - your link says "no matches."

Am I doing something wrong?

That doesn't work either.  What on earth is going on?  I still have the will so can send if you let my know your e-mail by private message.

It's quite brief, John left £200 to his brother Charles and the rest to Charles Edwin Watts of Yawong.
