Hi Jane. First -- please don't type all in capital letters. It's very hard to read, and it's loud. ;)

Wilfred married in 1944 and had two children. I wll send you their names.

This is his death:

Name: Wilfred Thomas Minty
Birth Date: 16 Aug 1913
Death Registration Month/Year: 1982
Registration district: Maidstone
Inferred County: Kent
Volume: 16
Page: 1209


I don't see a marriage for John, or for Katie. I also don't see deaths for those names.

I wonder whether, since they were young, they were adopted?

... Or sent overseas as "home children":

MINTY John A 1923 M 1932 Southampton Australia Fremantle

That looks very much like it could be your John. I don't see anyone who could be Katie. (I also checked Home Children records at the government of Canada site.)

And it looks like Ernest followed him:

MINTY Ernest 1920 M 1932 Southampton Australia Fremantle

This is what happened to many orphaned (or even just poor) children at the time.


If you use the Edit link in your first post, you can change the title to add "and Australia".

If you retype it so it is not all capitals, it will all fit on the line and won't be so loud. ;)

That way, our Australian members (I'm in Canada) will be sure to notice it and will do some searching for you in Australian records.

I am trying to find any connection to Ethel Rose Minty, born to Wilfred and Sarah Ann Minty (nee Amos) in 1926. Sh had brothers, Wifred T - 1913, Ernest G - 1920, John A - 1923 and a sister, Katie A - 1917.They were all born in Faversham, Kent area but the family was split up when the parents seperated. Ethel Rose was brought up by nuns in a convent and has had no contact with her family since the split when she was very young. Please can anyone help?
