    3. Hello Pam, I commend you the above project and thank you for sending the names of these men to the list! I am particularly interested in two on your list - namely HILTON Wm and HILTON W - would you have any other detail regarding these two men (other than that displayed on the CWGC?) One more ask -- members of my Family History Group may be interested in these names - can I have your permission to pass on your message and display the lists at our next meeting? Many families from Wigan, and Lancashire came to this area in the LATE 1890's early 1900's - my Grandfather, John William HILTON and his brother, Joshua HILTON and cousin Robert HINDLEY amongst them - they found work in the mines of this area and settled their families here- you may get some response to your request from members of our FHG who have similar interests. Unfortunately I cannot help with photos. Regards, Elspeth Bradbury Hon.Sec. LAKE MACQUARIE FAMILY HISTORY GROUP INC. NSW. AUSTRALIA.
