Find Ancestors

The obituary is probably the best one to read as it has loads about the family where they were born, children, grandchildren etc.

No probs at all.

Cheers

Thanks again for your help! I'm off to bed (in Virginia) but will look again tomorrow evening!

Walter's funeral notice in 1932...

I won't find any more I will leave you to have the fun! Let me know if you would like a hand with anything further, I'm happy to help where I can!

There is so much in Trove about the family Hazel, you should be able to find lots more as they seemed to be a very well known family!

Hmm wrong Walter..was he perhaps the son of Walter as this one died aged 23 years in 1930 due to a car accident:

Have you checked the newspapers yet?

There is this entry:

WILLS AND ESTATES

Wills of the following were admitted to probate yesterday: - Francis Henry Banford, Birmingham, England, retired company manager, reseal, Queensland estate, personalty 1, 528 pounds.

Sorry I am obviously posting at the same time as Batmans Daughter so I will bow out.

Thanks everybody for all the info - much much more than I thought could be found! It seems she was actually born in 1870 in Cumberland.

With all the extra info, I found a match somewhere to other family records. It seems that her brother Walter gassed himself in 1932 due to his business failing. Very sad.

Strange that my relative, Francis Banford, doesn't seem to have a job listed on electoral records. I've seem him listed as a timber merchant back in England.

Thanks again everybody!
