She is interesting in tracing her family history. In particular she would love to find out some information about some relatives who emigrated to Australia early 20th Century. Her fathers sister married a man called Thomas Booth in Bolton Lancashire. Her name was Polly. They had four children: Sylvia Susie Samuel Annie We last heard of them around late 1920s. Polly Booth maiden name Walsh sister of William, Edward and Samuel Walsh all of Bolton. One of Polly's daughters was a music teacher.(We do not know which one). Polly died Tom remarried we dont know. The four children of the marriage between T homas and Polly are my mums cousins . She met them in the late 1920s while they were over visiting England (Bolton) . but she has long lost touch with them. We would love to know if any of these are still alive, although this would seem unlikely. alternatively we would like any news or information about them eg where buried; if they have any descendents, because we are doing our family tree. We think that when they left England it was Yarraville they emigrated to. Any information you could kindly provide would be received with utmost gratitude and would be treated with confidentiality. Yours with kind regards and thanks Ian Chisnall
