Hi I am trying to search for one of my grandmother's brothers who emigrated to Woga Woga (not a joke and not sure I spelled it correctly) between 1901 and 1930. Not sure which brother but it would be either John Hoyes b1882, Thornton W Riding Yorkshire or Nicholas Hoyes b1893, Kendal, Westmoreland. Hope this works Kind regards Ingrid

G'day Ingrid. The correct spelling for the town you are looking for is Wagga Wagga. But you are correct in how it is pronouced...lol I would love to help you out. Give me a day or two and I will do some lookin up for you. Wagga Wagga, or just plain Wagga as we call it here, is in New South Wales and is a large-ish town (by Aussie standards!) and has a history of producing some great aussie sportspeople. Get back to you soon, Ingrid. Jenny in Aus
