Hi Listers: NORFOLK DESCENDANTS Found a newspaper cutting in my files - undated but probably circa 1994. Queensland paper - on reverse there's a heading "National". I hope the names may help someone. I have no idea if Prof WALTON is still seeking information or if he is still at this address. I have no further information than that listed below: "NORFOLK DESCENDANTS SOUGHT" Did your ancestors come from Norfolk, England? Prof. Jack WALTON of Eagle Hts, Qld, is seeking info on English farm labourers and their families from Norfolk who emigrated to Maryborough in the 1880s.

Scottish Lassie, Duke of Sutherland, the Duke of Westminster, S. S. Rialto, the Jumna, Oriana, Merkara, and the S.S. Famenoth. Prof. Walton can be contacted as 12 Elbert Court, Eagle Hts, 2471.
