I think the thing is at this point the historical information is not in question, we know who these people all are now, all are deceased except maybe Sylvia Bailey who married Norman Harry Bradford, and both Sylvia and Dorothy have children and grandchildren in Australia.

and I think it is already in the thread that Norman was the next passenger on the list to Australia after the Baileys and he married Sylvia.

In Marian's thread on the living people board I pointed out that the person who has the very large Ancestry-Mundia tree showing Sylvia and Dorothy also has a tree on this site.

The tree shows the descendants of the Bailey brothers Joseph (Sylvia and Dorothy) and William (Gordon and Joy in Marian's other thread) ... and Marian is the daughter of their sister Lydia.

with trees that large you can't tell how the person is related or whether they even know the living people in the tree

but it is worth a try.

Marian has read my messages, which included what I think is probably contact information for a granddaughter of Sylvia.


Now I did think, since they were Salvationists, maybe the Salvation Army in South Australia or Victoria would be an idea, to ask for help getting in touch with the children of Dorothy and Sylvia ?

Joonie,, I agree BUT

The children of the couple I posted may and indeed look to be available online, in various forms

The Norman Bradford and Sylvia Bailey couple Gins?

In fact someone posted a list of hundreds of names in a message at Ancestry showing all their children and grandchildren, with birthdates and spouses, and those of Sylvia's sister Dorothy.

The discussion in question was actually about a branch of the Farmborough family in the United States !

I thought that was the most appalling violation of privacy so I didn't link to it here

... but it did provide all those names so I could search further in Australia :-)

and unfortunately the only seemingly sure thing it led to was contact information for one grandchild ...

Maybe if you can see other possible contact information you would PM it to Marian?

I went bug-eyed over it last night ... and in fact whitepages Australia is now telling me it has detected unusual activity from my IP address and now I have to do a captcha and wait 5 minutes every time I do a search ...

:-D

I do really suggest though that Marian contact the person right here at genes reunited who has the Australian Bradford and Williamson families in their tree, unless it is someone she already knows, but in that case it means she already knows what we have been finding out ...

Maybe she does but just needs contact information and hopefully what I found will do that ... or you can suggest something more Gins ?

Marian ? :-)

trying not to be confusing but it can be difficult ...

Yes...I sent the info by PM, to Marian

Well Marian, if this is just for your tree, that link I sent you, to the discussion at Ancestry, should keep you going into your next decade!!

If you are hoping to contact some of your cousins or their kids, I hope that works out for you.

Someone at that grand reunion will be a technical whiz who can help you with it all.

And they will all appreciate your hard work on their family history even if they are too young to think so now. Be sure to tell them some stories!

Have a wonderful time!
