Was born Surrey England 1847, emmigrated with his wife & one child to New Zealand, in 1873. > 10 children later, he left New Zealand, about 1911 / 13 , leaving his wife & family , & went to Australia. He had 2 daughters, we dont know if he remarried . Neither do we know when or where he died. His 2 daughters would probably be in their 80's by now. Does this story sound like your family ? It appears that the Salvation Army wrote to my Grandmother, in New Zealand, to inform her of his death. She does not seem to have told anyone the details of his death. I have searched the Death Indexes in all states of Aus., but could have missed it. > ( Of course, it was only after my Grandmother's death in 1970's that I started on this family history thing ) > Does anyone have this name in their Tree.? The Australian children may not have used his surname. > Mary > >
