Find Ancestors

Any help please.charles relf hawker was born in 1992 in Plumsted London.
His farther was relf hawker.
Charles made his way to Australian and married myrtle, the problem I have is I can't find any information on the departure port that he took

you more than likely wont find any details of where he left from

records not about for then

Mavis

He was born 1892, not 1992:

Births Sep 1892 (>99%)
Hawker Charles Relf Woolwich 1d 1255

Yes sorry he was born 1892

Think you are a bit out with year of birth!

Births Sep 1892 (>99%)
Hawker Charles Relf Woolwich 1d 1255

Could this be him, initials wrong way round. CAn't find him on the 1911 census to see if occupation correct?

(worth a google search, items look to relate, another Member searching some time ago)

Chris :)

Occupation looks promising, Stuart.
In 1943 ER he's a "marking off engineer". Living with a Gwyneth May Hawker - daughter??

Married Myrtle Folkes in 1915 in NSW.

A tree on Ancestry says he married Ivy Alison McKay.

I suspect "marked as answered" is because Terry has sent Chris a PM?? Or that she answered his query in the next post?

Or maybe she means Stuart's find is the correct one?

Wish GR would make the "mark as answered" facility instructions clearer.

(no PM here!)

Chris :)

Looking at one of the Ancestry trees, he married Myrtle (1896-1969) in 1915 by whom he had 2 children Dorothy Myrtle 1916 and Charles Relf 1918

and then married Ivy (1908-2001) in 1937

Thanks sruart, but I can't find any information that you have listed on charles travel to
Australian, I went to travel and migration, and then to passenger list.
Any thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

Looks like it's from FindMyPast, Terry.
It'll be this one, which I can't open as I don't have a sub to FMP

HAWKER R C 1892 — 1912 Passenger lists Sydney, New South Wales, Australia .

It's not showing at all on Ancestry.

Yes, it's from FMP - about the first record I've found that I've been looking for on the new, supposedly all singing all dancing site !!!!!!!

Not sure that the Gwyneth May that he was with on the ER is a daughter:

Australia Marriage Index, 1788-1950
Name: Charles Relf Hawker
Spouse Name: Gweneth May Richardson
Marriage Date: 1942
Marriage Place: New South Wales
Registration Place: Drummoyne, New South Wales
Registration Year: 1942
Registration Number: 2614

(He and Myrtle had divorced 1922)

His death:

Registration Number 30666/1964
Last Name HAWKER
Given Name(s) CHARLES RELF
Father's Given Name(s) RELF
Mother's Given Name(s) EMMA JANE
District ST LEONARDS

The RC Hawker departure that Stuart posted above was Robert Hawker when he arrived in Australia:

New South Wales, Australia, Unassisted Immigrant Passenger Lists, 1826-1922
Name: Robert Hawker
Port of Departure: London
Port of Arrival: Sydney, New South Wales
Voyage Arrival Date: 6 Apr 1912
Vessel Name: Marathon

Ah, the 1942 marriage (and hence the 1943 ER mentioned above) is most likely a son of the same name. C R Hawker born 1892 died in 1964 (record above) so he couldn't still be alive for this:

Name: Charles Relf Hawker
Gender: Male
Electoral Year: 1980
State: New South Wales
District: Robertson

Looks like he wasn't using his middle name on the ER:

Name: Ivy Allison Hawker
Gender: Female
Electoral Year: 1943
State: New South Wales
District: Warringah

Living at The Drive, Harbord with Charles, an engineer

He didn't use his middle name on his remarriage:
