Hi all, In the early 1960s a Mrs James was the guide leader at Wantirna South VIC. Her husband was a market gardener and they had a property on Stud Road, Rowville. Mr James used to provide his truck for the annual bottle drives that the scouts and guides used to raise funds. From the electoral rolls it appears the couple were Ralph Henry and Dorothy Ellen, and the property on Stud Road was called "Nigabinda". Mr James gave me some old things from his shed after one bottle drive. From memory he had been born in England, and had spent some time at sea as a young man, and was somewhat older than his wife. He was small in stature but strong and wiry. I don't remember them having any children. It appears that Ralph Henry James died in 1982, and his parents were Daniel and Susannah (VIC Death Index CD). If he is the right person, he was born in Essex, England, and his father Daniel was a mariner in the 1901 and 1911 census. Does anyone have any connection to Ralph Henry James or his wife Dorothy Ellen? Thank you Ray Hayes Hobart
