Could SKS please tell me if this is the correct list for the area of Lancefield? My Uncle has just arrived this am from Lancashire....he has just informed me that his Uncle came to Lancefield back in the early 1930's ?? I have spent an hour whilst he is resting looking up and have located the area they lived in when their only son died in 1945 during the war. ( he is listed on the CWGC )...He was Donald Wright ASHWORTH who died aged 25 in 1945. If this is the list would anyone on the list happen to live near to Lancefield that could help me with a few history questions please re ASHWORTH HILL and Rd...?? I am certain this must be named after the family...I have seen on the net an ASHWORTH winery as well in the area but i think that must just be the name of the winery for the area not name associated... Also if anyone on the list has access to the Vic BDM indexes that could please look up the marriage Henry ASHWORTH to Gertrude Rose ?? and also any deaths of the above persons if listed..... many thanks - I am sorry for the rush but my Uncle is only here for four weeks and if we do have any living relatives i would love to make contact before he goes home... obviously if this is the wrong list could someone also please let me know ;-) cheers and thanks Julie

Hello Julie, Yes, you have the right list for Lancefield. All I could find on the BDMs is the birth of Donald Wright ASHWORTH at Essendon in 1919. Father was Henry, mother was Gerte Rose WRIGHT, which explains Donald's middle name. So they would appear to be here in 1919 not the 1930s. Searched for a marriage or birth of siblings back to 1902 without success. No deaths of parents or siblings in Victoria up to 1985. No death for Gerte. Some possible deaths for Henry, but not at Lancefield. Can't help with the rest Cheers Peter ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ At 11:08 PM 14/08/02 +0930, you wrote: >Could SKS please tell me if this is the correct list for the area of >Lancefield? > >My Uncle has just arrived this am from Lancashire....he has just informed >me that his Uncle came to Lancefield back in the early 1930's ??
