My great-uncle, Reginald Arthur Cocks, born in Ipswich, Suffok in 1879 emigrated to Australia some time after the 1901 Census. I found a whole lot of information about him and his family about 2 years ago but unfortunately didn't make a note of where because I was busy with another branch of the family. Please can anyone help me. Regards to all other geneaologists.

According to FMP outward records he was R E Cocks so probably not your relation

Thank you all for your help. Most of this information I have got but when I had his details before I saw a whole group of children and grand-children. I think it was in the New South Wales area. My aunt used to keep in touch with a cousin out there and when she died I notified them, from her address book but got no reply so don't know if it was the most up-to-date address. Needless to say I threw the address book away when I had finished with it!
I am sorry I can't help with the name Fahse. Anyway, thanks again.
