I have much family info for George pre 1893 from census etc. It's the period after his marriage which is proving to be a major problem. It's possible and highly likely he/they travelled extensively domesticly and internationally, hence being out of the country at time of 1901c. Expect travel to Australia at some time late 1907 after death of James Nicholson.
I can't find any existing passenger records in Australia for travel EX Aust to UK or elsewhere. This would have been helpful to establish their movements and residence.
Any info or contact would be greatly appreciated.....Australia is so far from Yorkshire and it's resources - can someone find out what happened to this couple please?
Many thanks Helen
