Greetings Sue, I am Margaret in Australia. My Austin connection is through my Great Grandmother Alice Hannah Austin of Manchester born1856,Father James Austin. Alice is said to have married William James FLETCHER commercial traveller.Their son was William James Fletcher the 2nd born1875. Alice's sister Elizabeth was married to John Massey Master Fisherman and they lived at a fish shop in St Paul's Rd. Rock Ferry or Tranmere. William James the 2nd married Mary Ellen O'Brien and my father William James Fletcher 3rd was born in 1902. My older brother was William James Fletcher 4th. Makes life complicated!! Alice Hannah Austin Fletcher married William Banner of Runcorn in 1896. Hope we connect!! Margaret

Hello Margaret, Sorry but none of the names you mention sound familiar to me, have you any thing more about James Austin ? All mine came from Liverpool and London originally and my Fathers family lived at Upton Wirral and I grew up at Rock Ferry. Can you tell me where James was born and who his parents were, then I can look through my lot to see if I can find any connection.
