Find Ancestors

Thankyou Marie.

That is my step Mothers grandfather and she remembers that drowning happening..it is said he just walked into the water himself.

I wonder is it possible to get anything on George as child.

I have to admit the UK has much better search facilities than OZ.

Again Thankyou Ladies :-D
