It has been a long while since I asked for help on this one with No luck so here goes.
Alfred's Father Edward married Annie Tonkinson maiden name Hodgkiss Dec 1878,they had both been widowed and had children so a mixed family,they went on to have Horace 1880,Alfred 1882.
I am struggling to find Alfred's passage out to Australia where he married my MIL'
Mother Ethal Tindale in WA on 7th Dec 1918 ,somewhere around 1910 we think he came to OZ..

My MIL 's father died when she was 5 and she has no Photos of him ,she is 95 and would love to see what he looked like.
Is there anyone that can me find this man, I am Hoping to trace any of his siblings to follow the lines and hopefully find some live rellies who may have some photo's back in the UK.

Thankyou in advance

Sue

If you've asked before, you should add to the original thread.

he was in Tettenhall in 1901

I presume you've looked in 'search trees'?

Ancestry either :-(

Are you in touch with the other GR member who has him in her tree?

Susan

Susan Report 14 Mar 2015 10:49


I have just got a contact on Ancestry that has one of the Grandson Gritty found and

am trying to get in contact with them,looks promising.Edward is in their tree Marrying Annie.

Jones is the worst name to search and I have had many brick wall with this one all dead ends I am afraid.

This one looks good though,Hopefully they have some family Photos that they may let me have a look at.

Thankyou for your interest.

Feeling lucky :-D
