They were all born in Victoria Australia
Thank you Lorraine

Have you looked to see if any of those people are in family trees on here?

If they are, you can then try and contact the tree owner for more information.

Have you put your tree on this site, so that anyone looking can see the connection?

it would also be a good idea to add 'australia' to your title

have you researched any of the people you name, to find out if they married etc?
