Is there any kind person who has access to the passenger emigration lists for the period early 1920's. The family was Charles Frederick Wright b 1895, His wife Florence Mary Wright b 1898. They had two children born 1927 and 1932 who may have gone with them or may have been born in Australia. The couple had been in India but probably emigrated from the UK. Thanks in anticipation.

Probably better to continue on other thread, otherwise the searchers will duplicate background info

Scared to as there has been hostility about possible living persons. How can I get the Australia query to be noticed by Australian users then? Thanks for your continuing help Rose..

Edit the opening post on the other thread. You can then change the title to include 'Australia'. You could also add to the end of the OP to say 'see post 14 Feb 2016'

The 'Hostility' seems to be because you appeared to believe an unrelated person was birth family. Its unusual that a member knows the person in question, but it does occasionally happen. We do try to indicate to members researching purely for FH purposes that not eveyone shares our passion.

I've sent you a PM, but if you edit your title on the other thread to 'still looking Australia' someone may well help.

Hello Detective. Is it adviseable to state your relationship in the opening line of a topic post? My grandmother's sister married the man in question's great grandfather.
Enough said.

You could do, or you could state they are 'twigs' but may have information regarding a closer relative - in this case your grt aunt and her husband.
Its possible that the descendents of CFW may have some sort of knowledge, but with the greater degree of removal, its unlikely.

We all have to draw the line at some point as to how far we'd go to contact distant relations especially as there is no direct genetic link.
