Find Living Relatives

I am trying to trace members of family with surname of English who emigrated to Brisbane, Australia, from the East End of London / Walthamstow, England during 1910 - 1940. The parents names were George English and Amy English (nee Smith). Members of this family may recollect the name of Roy Moulder who visited whilst in the merchant navy early 1950's.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Hazel

Do you know the names of George & Amy's children or would you like to have them?

If I have the right couple, they married in 1897 and the 1911 census shows quite a large family, 8 children and I would think 2 more born after 1911 - English children with mother Smith born in West Ham:

Is this the family you are referring to...

If you click on "Search" above and then "Search all Members Trees" from the drop down menu....you will be able to find out if any other members have this family in their tree. If you find any connections, you can then contact the tree owner/owners.

that was the family I was referring to ... I didn't know whether Hazel wanted the names posted so that was why I asked ...

Hazel

Start by looking in 'search all trees'...........if anyone on GR is researching them, send a contact message

Do you know the names of the ones who emigrated?

..the 'Ryerson Index' (on-line) shows these possible (?) deaths:
Sidney Joseph English d 11/5/1955 age 57yrs at Camden District Hosp. 'late of Elderslie' -notice in 'Sydney Morning Herald' 12/5/1955

(Elbert?)
Albert Ernest English d 25/7/1937 age 35yrs 'late of Elderslie'
death notice in 'Sydney Morning Herald 26/7/1937

'Ryersons' will do 'look-ups' of newspaper notices for family names etc.

Valerie

The information which has been forwarded to me including the 1911 census is on our files. In fact:

Wellie George was in fact William
Elbert was in fact Albert
Gladyest was in fact Gladys

The details regarding Sidney Joseph and Albert Ernest (birth dates) tie in with our records and the death dates are possibilities. We believe both these people were my mother-in-law's brothers (my husband's uncles. As mentioned in my original posting I believe my husband's eldest brother visited them around the early 1950's when he was in the merchant navy. We are hoping to hear of any descendants of Sidney and Albert.

Regards
Hazel

There are no births with those names and middle names that fit though.

Rose

Since you didn't give the names, I didn't know whether you didn't know them or had chosen not to put them here, for privacy (the wording of your initial message suggested that possibility).

The odds of a descendant being a member of this site are fairly low. However, not uncommonly, people find messages at this site when they do an internet search for a name.

It might be to your advantage then to list the names in this thread (or edit your opening post to put them there) so that if any descendant does that, they would find the thread. They would have to pay for a subscription in order to be able to contact you through the site's messaging system.

Of course, putting a tree here with the names of anyone who is deceased in it would also mean that someone who searched trees at this site for the names would find you. Just remember to keep your email address in your account here updated and no matter when that happened, you would receive notice that you had a message here and be able to reply to it (even if you no longer had a paid subscription).

With individual names we might be able to identify them on Australian ER, selected ones to 1980 are on Ancestry.

We may find an English surname in the same household as ones you know about. That person might be a child or a daughter-in-law

Just checked 'Trove' for Albert's death notice: SMH 26/7/37

The 'Ryerson Index' shows 'Rosanna Margaret English d 7/12/1964 aged 89yrs at Camden Dist Hospital -late of Menangle and Elderslie.
(SMH 8/12/1964). A 'look-up' request MAY help unravel these 'English' families!

Valerie

You 'believe' that Sidney and Albert were your m-i-l's brothers.......

Who was your m-i-l? What does her birth cert say about her parents?

There is NO birth on freebmd for Moulder with MMN English...............nor is there a marriage between those surnames.

Sydney Morning Herald 8th December 1964

English, Rosanna Margaret December 7, 1964 at Camden District Hospital of Menangle and late of Elderside Widow of the late William John English beloved mother of Sid, ???, Frank (all deceased) Jim, Fanny, Ettie?*, Helena and Jack and grandmother, great grandmother and great great grandmother of their children. Aged 89 years.

The names after Sid and Fanny aren’t clear and too hard to read.


Gai

My mother in law's maiden name was Gladys, the person on the 1911 census.
