Would any lister know who Whitfords Beach here in Western Australia is named after? I am a Whitford researcher and I have links to a family that traces back from South Autralia to Gwenup in Cornwall. (This family can be traced back to the 1600's) My Lavinia Whitford is the mother of Mary Ellen Davey who married Albert Edward Lines in South Australia. The Lines and Davey family settled here in Western Australia. I am also looking for any Davey researchers in Western Australia who might desend from Daveys from Cornwall - to South Australia.
