Tony,thankyou so much for that. It appears that their eldest brother also settled in Austrailia. Albert Edward Wittey born 1875 in Hackney. So really any information about all 3 brothers would be wonderful however small.
Thankyou once again,regards, Rebecca.

Please can anyone help with records in Austrailia.
I have 2 relatives who are brothers who left London in 1912 to travel to Sydney Austrailia but sadly after that we have no record of them.
Leonard Arthur Wittey born Edmonton London b.1889 and Herbert Wittey b.1882 Hackney. Does anyone please have any BMD records in Austrailia? Many Thanks, Rebecca.
