Hi my name is Paul hancock I'm trying to track down the family or relatives of wally hancock who left Liverpool bound for Melbourne Australia in 1924 on the ship esperance who later became welterweight boxing champ I've also tried to find any info re war years the story goes he joined the Australian Royal Navy to become a stoker (engine room) but there doesn't seem to be any information !!!!!!!!!!!!!! any pointers
iv been on ancestry search also trying to find any family for her in the uk
i placed a add a few weeks ago in the hope some1 who had any information on beatrice but no luck so far il keep trying as i want my dad to know what became of her
I need to upgrade my Grandfather's grave but have discovered that he is buried with a person by the name of Ellen Mary Eva Bohlin who maybe Ellen Mary Eva Westbury (maiden ) married name is gilby. The Funeral Director notes show she was married to my Grandfather Gustav for a short period of time but unable to locate a marriage certificate.To complete the headstone I need to talk to a relative to be sure I have the right person.
Regards
Bill
I cannot continue with the upgrade of the grave until I can locate relatives.
Yes thank you for all the info. on Edward Hopewell. I thought I had replied but perhaps I did it incorrectly or just thought I had done it!!
His middle name of BRETLAND was his mothers maiden name. he was my godfather and cousin although I never really met him but my mother talked about him a great deal. In answer to one of your questions, I am afraid I don't know which state they went to. Any further information would be appreciated. Judith
Sorry about not getting back to you, our power went down and my desktop computer was in the middle of up dating saying do not turn computer off, it did....I lost my computer completely I think. I'm on my laptop now, and its like dialup. I would love to hear from you.
No I did not Elizabeth. I had this info already through the search, but I am not sure where to go from here, there seems so much to look at and I'm not sure where to start?

Hi Paul,
You need to search here when you are looking for a catalogue entry on RecordSearch http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/search/index.aspx (Search the Collection)
If you search for Walter HANCOCK, this is one of the results:
http://dhistory.org/archives/naa/items/4542327/
This person's DOB matches Wally's stats. He married Amy TOWNER in 1926 in Sydney.
Quite a lot on TROVE:

Thanks Elizabeth, no West Terrace Cemetery is not the one, the sheet is very large and has so many names and numbers so maybe it is from overseas.
