Find Ancestors

Hi I am searching for any Hindleys in Australia or India. They started living in these countries in the early 1900s. Any information would be helpful thanks Chris

just went on to the free Mormon site - www.familysearch.org - I just put Hindley, India in the search box and got 1,078 results, and no doubt there'll be far more if I do the same with Australia

Do you have any specifics to start with?

big surprise - only 97 in Australia

As you have a Harry Hindley 1905 Hawthorn, Vic' in your tree perhaps this is him Christopher?

EDIT: I think 'Frederic' is Eric Frank. Possible birth in Cheshire in 1899 as Fred HINDLEY. And that Vernon - shown as Thomas in death notice below - is Thomas Vernon HINDLEY b. 1901 Chester, Cheshire, died n Victoria 10 Nov 2003 aged 102! :-) See http://tributes.heraldsun.com.au/archivenotice/2657355/view?random=1455255572555

Their mother remarried. She died in 1928

Name: Lillian Jean GRIFFIN
Father: Daniel MUNNERLEY
Mother: Lucy HESLOP
Death Place: FCRAY
Age: 53
Year/Reg.: 1928/14808

James GRIFFIN married Lilian Jean HINDLEY in Victoria in 1914 (reg 8059).

James Arthur Louis GRIFFIN was a son of James GRIFFIN and Liln Jean MUNNERLEY (reg 21589), born Footscray in 1915.

This is odd - funeral notice for 'Bessie' daughter of James GRIFFIN of 63 Creswick-street Footscray but this is how her mother is shown:

Name: Elizth Emily GRIFFIN
Father: Jas GRIFFIN
Mother: Liln Jean WEBB
Death Place: FITZROY
Age: 23
Year/Reg.: 1933/7420

James & Jean Lilian are buried in the same grave as Bessie at Footscray Cemetery.

EDIT: Ok I think this is her birth:
Name: Elizth Emily GRIFFIN
Father: Jas GRIFFIN
Mother: Rosa WEBB
Birth Place: SURREY HILLS
Year/Reg.: 1910/6924

This also identifies the other (step)children listed in Lilian Jean's death notice.
James & Rosa's children were:
Annie Rosa b. 1908, m. Percival Chas Henry ROWE 1931
Elizabeth Emily b. 1910, d. 1933
Edmund James b. 1912 (Ted), m. Frances Ruby NEAL 1942
Fredk Martin b. 1913 (Martin), m. Jessie Georgina TYRER 1936

Jas & Rosa married in 1907 in Victoria - he was born in Ireland, she in Richmond. Rosa GRIFFIN nee WEBB died in 1914 in Surrey Hills aged 31.

Wife of Thomas - note the address - she was only 28. They married in 1934 (reg 11892), she was nee TOOMEY.

The Age, Monday 8 June 1936
HINDLEY.— On the 6th June, Dulcie, dearly loved wife of Thomas Hindley, of 63 Creswick-street, Footscray, loving mother of Baby, loving daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E.

Burial at Footscray Cemetery. :-(

Frederick Martin GRIFFIN died in South Australia. Don't disregard his family, as Lilian was to all intents and purposes his mother,and the Hindley children were his stepbrothers. There may be some family memorabilia or history held about the Hindleys. From Ryerson Index:

White Pages has a GRIFFIN listing in West Footscray - worth a try.
