Hi Linda would be pleased if you are able to look up for me George Howell born 1903 left England for Australia c1920 may be to Victoria. Many thanks, Lorri.

Hi Linda. This is a real long shot! My great grandmother is said to have been part of a circus troupe. I have lost her and her husband in this country after 1891, but it is almost certain that they travelled to America to perform in Ringling Brothers circus there. I'm sorry I have no dates, but the names are Daisy and James Carroll and possibly their young daughter Ivy K Carroll. Any help much appreciated. Thanks Gill.

Hi I dont know if you will find anything as i am very limited on information but the gents name i am looking for is Elijah Durrant, unfortunately i dont know where he was going or where he went, but understand that he went on several missions at sea, one of which whilst he was away his then wife ran away with another man!! Thanks Ian Hale

Sorry Cheryl No luck with yours either linda

Hi Jo, No sign of Beatrice I'm afraid linda

Hi Linda, I have been looking for a Jane Cameron (nee Mathi(e)son), b1860 in Scotland, her husband Daniel (no other info) and son Daniel M. Cameron c1880 Islington, Middlesex. Last certain info I have on Jane is 1881 living with her mother Agnes Mathison and baby son. I can't find them after that and am now wondering if they emigrated. Whether you get around to searching this for me or not I would like to say you are a little diamond :-) Cheryl

Sorry Janice, Even with the dates you gave me I can't trace ypur Harris's anywhere. Sorry Linda

Hello Linda, I only know that William C Harris was b in 1890, Herbert G Harris 1894, and Elizabeth 1906. Not very helpful is it? Thanks for your time and efforts, Janice,
