Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 169 Send Message	Hello I wonder if anyone can help me over a brick wall please? I am tracing the family of John Thomas Farmer b 1865 Towcester, Northamptonshire. I have births for Archibald b 1905 Brixworth , Mildred Emily b 1909 Northampton and Gertrude M b1911 Northampton. I also have a marriage for Gertrude to John T Goosey and two children Peter J Goosey b 1936 Northampton and Michael J Goosey b 1938 Northampton and for Mildred Emily to Walter W Westley . From this point I can find nothing at all. There appear to be no marriage or death for Archibald, no children or deaths for Mildred and Walter and no deaths for Gertude and John or marriages for their sons Peter and Michael. I realise it is possible the older members of the family could still be alive but would think it unlikely. I also have a cousin Freda S Farmer b 1925 Northampton who I can find nothing for. Maybe I've been on the computer too long and I'm missing something but I'm beginning to wonder if a group of family members possibly emigrated.I believe Australia was made attractive in the 1950s and this would fit the time quite well. Does anyone have any clues or access to emigration records? Thank you in advance.
