Find Ancestors

Iwonder if anyone can help me . I have a William Henry Edwin Etheridge born 1860 in Gloucestershire U.K. who died on 24 April 1937 in West Australia. He was married to Margaretta Selina Williams, they had 9 children and most of their deaths were in Perth Australia. I would like to contact anyone who has this family in their tree.

Julie,
Thank you very much for all the infomation, I will now add all that onto my tree. Deborah is trying to contact some of the living for me so hopefully I will get further back with my tree.You have found such a lot of infomation and I would not have known where to start.
Thanks again,
Edith

I am very glad that I have been able to help

You might think about buying a few death certificates.

Australian death certificates usually have lots of extra info, including a list of children and their ages at the time of the death.
This would give you names that Deborah may help find.

Last bit of info...
