Find Ancestors

There is also a David John and Ingrid Eltringham living at 2/63 Old Belgrave Rd in 1972. He is an engineer and she is an artist.
Kathleen is at 30 Old Reservoir Rd, Belgrave.

Possibly connected?

Thank you for the last message and information and the passenger list.

Have pm'd incoming passenger list.

He married Kathleen Alice Richardson in 1936. In the year of John's death (1954) they were both living at Old Reservoir Road, Belgrave, Victoria.

Although I think they have several children- at the moment I can only confirm one- in 1980 Kathleen was living with their son, Ian Richard Eltringham at 30 Belgrave Hallam Road, Belgrave, Victoria. Ian is listed as a school teacher.

If I get time I'll try and look later for more details

Sorry, that should have read decendants

Hi again

I thought it would be ancestor. No, I don't have access at present, that would be kind.

I am now looking for his dependents.

Hi Sheila,

The return in 1931 was found on Ancestry:
UK, Incoming Passenger Lists, 1878-1960

I can send you a copy if you don't have access.

Also- on your original post you say you're trying to find relatives of John Theodore Eltringham- are you wanting his descendants (children/ grandchildren) or ancestors?

Hello Gritty,

Could you please advise how you found sailings coming from abroad, I seem to have hit a wall here. Thanks S.

Thank you Gritty for the most informative reply. I was wondering if he could have returned an left again, but it didn't seem feesable, but I think you have hit the nail on the head. Most grateful

They may have both been him? - there is this return in 1931- gives his address as 32 George Potts Street, South Shileds, Durham. Occ: Farm Hand:

There was also a John Theodore Eltringham, born 1909 who could have been of the same parents and he sailed to Australia, Sydney on ship of the same name, dated 8 December 1928. I believe he could have been sent to the Govement Instructional Centre, Tweeting Hall, Brandon Norfolk. This was a place for training young men in agriculture and from there they were sent over to Australia or Canada.

I am trying to find relatives of John Theodore Eltringham. Born 1909 Washington Co Durham. He left for Australia when he was a teenager. Confused, as there is a listing for him sailing to Melbourne 1932 but also sailing to Sydney in 1928. I don't know which is which. Can anyone help.
