Hi I am trying to trace my g-g-grandfather William Stratford (b.abt 1813 in London) who died 7th Dec 1885 in Prahran, Melbourne, Australia. The earliest record I have is his marriage to Mary Ann Kershaw in Sydney (8th Mar 1852). They had 10 kids (Frederick, Henry, Edward, Isabella, Charles (died), Alicia, Charles A, Emily, George, Edgar) between 1854 and 1873. William died in 1885 and his wife Mary Ann in 1888. I have hit the proverbial brick wall with William. I have no idea how or when he arrived in Australia or who is parents were. There are no parents listed on the Death Cert. There are a couple of convicts of the same name but have been unable to establish a link. He does not seem to appear in the Assisted or Unassisted passenger lists Any ideas would be welcomed as to avenues to explore etc. Thanks in advance Adam Melbourne, Victoria.
