"Did George Cotton emigrate to N South Wales Oz?".

[tornado]

Hello all . I was hoping someone may be able to shed light on my 2 x Cousin 3 x rem George Peabody Cotton( b 1887 Penzance area)  and he grew up in Penzance .  There is a rumour in the family that he emigrated to N South Wales OZ and Married there. I can only access so much on the Ancestry site as I am not subscribed . Unfortunately I do not know when he Died . If anyone could help with this look up I would be grateful and thank you .

Wow! Now we are getting somewhere . Georges Parents where Edward and Ann Cotton , so this is a good start reg the Death registration of him. The only prob now is finding records in N S Wales!. If this was possible I could trace his life in Oz . Interesting . Anyway thanks to you all for the valuable info .

Maybe you should ask a moderator to move this thread to the Australia board, where the Australian experts may be able to help you and suggest ideas.
