Hi Anne My family is the WELSHMAN family, my mum's maiden name was WELSHMAN. The family history is quite an interesting one!! My grand father was George Welshman jnr. His father was George Alfred Welshman and he left England and went to live in Oz when my grandfather was only 4 years old and left three children and his wife Frances in Gloucester. The story which we were originally told was George Alfred left for Oz to start a new life for them all, he would go and get a job and a house and the family would follow on after. This didn't happen! Francs died of a broken heart and this was only a short while after George Alfred had left form Oz.The three children Rose, Lile and George went into the workhouse in Gloucester but a family called the William's of Wellesley Street took them in. George Welshman jnr father was George Alfred Welshman George Alfred Welshman father was George Welshman snr. George Welshman snr had nine children in total - he did marry twice!! One of the children was called Kathleen and she was known as Kate, she married James Dangerfield. Kate and James had a son called Les and he was a only a few years younger than my grandfather George jnr. My mum can remember visiting Les Dangerfield in Gloucester when she was a young girl. I hope this helps and I hope to here from you with your link!!!!
