In the early 1900 Polly Selina Rolfe emmigrated to Australia
Her brother Richard James Rolfe was already over there
And paid for her passage
Richard James had joined the Australian Forces.
If anyone could offer me some information on her i would be grateful
I should mention Polly was born in Great Shefford Berkshire
In the UK
Many thanks   spec
