Thank you Jeanette, that's the one. And thanks Denise too.

I have found it on the National Archives site and requested a copy. It is the only one that fits agewise and it does have his full name. Not sure it will tell me any more than what Jeanette has given me tho.

I will keep you posted!

:-)

Hi Sue

Yes that is the marriage of my maternal grandparents and that is his death. (My grandmother remarried following divorce).

Farmer doesn't seem right...does it say the ship or where he came from? Is it Baradine?

Hi

Hoping sks with a findmypast subscription can please look up an immigration to Fremantle, Australia from London in 1924 of a David Henry HUNTER (b. 1904). I believe this may be my grandfather. Hoping it will mention his birthplace, occupation and if he travelled alone, as well as the ship he came over on of course.

Thank you!

Cheers
Cherilyn
