Look in search trees for possible links on GR

As for finding info about Albert's siblings.......your first stop should be freebmd, to look for marriages etc (IF they remained in England/Wales, of course)

thank you so much for the information so far - this is so exciting to read -
Albert was my grandfather and I only found out recently that he had a previous name - it's very exciting to see all the information of people I am related to, I guess somewhere out there I have living second cousins etc.

I've managed to work out where the deacon name came from - being his mother's maiden name
What i'm yet to discover is where the "John and the "Daly" fits into the picture

somewhere between 1933 and 1941 he changed his name from
Albert Edward Babb to Albert John Deacon-Daly why I have no idea
my nan - not alive anymore had no idea of any of this. He always claimed his parents were Samuel and Annie Daly.

Records in Australia don't seem to be accessible - I just figured he made it up from nowhere.

The search continues

Jen
It might be in your best interest to edit your title to read "Australia Info For Babb".........so that members can see that you are looking for further information regarding...Albert Edward Babb in Australia.

Let us know if you need help going back further with Samuel and Annie. :-)

oh ok yes thank you I'll try to do that - I'm also trying to find out where the Daly might come into it - seeing the Deacon comes from his mother i'm hoping the daly comes from somewhere too - I haven't been able to find any remote connection yet. ta - Jenny
