Hi Lousia

I'm looking for Webster's. I have no idea when they came over to Aus but Tom Webster signed up for the Australian Army in 1914. He was killed in 1917 and his mother was in Australia at the time, living in Bell, Queensland - not sure if her husband was with her. They are William and Sarah Webster. If you could find any of these c1914, that would be brill.

Hi Louisa
Thanks for the lookups.
I cant tell you anything more about the Ritchies I'm afraid except that Mary Hannahs parents were Thomas Frewin & Sarah Elizabeth Froome.
The same parents for Sophia Matilda Adams so the death ref was'nt hers.
Thanks again for your time

Hi Louisa,

Thank you for your wonderful offer.

I am searching for: Jesse George Pearce, a British subject, who arrived in New South Wales, 31 January 1927 at the age of 16 in Sydney. and went to work on a sheep farm in the area of Coonabarabran.

Since he celebrated his 18th birthday on 23 December 1928 (born 1910), he will only be found as from 1929. He arrived back in England 1933.

Thank you very much once again.
Regards, Elizabeth Anne
