Hi all, i am trying to search for two family members who emmigrated to Auz & Canada. But am finding it hard to track them after they left the ship's. There details are

Sydney Wilson Born December 1883 in Faversham, Engalnd & departed england Jan 1913 for Brisbane, Australia

Walter Thomas Wilson born 1892 in strood, england & departed england 14.9.1911 to Quebec.

Last known address for them both was The Street, Adisham, Kent, UK and their parents names are George Wilson & Charlotte Wilson.

I hope someone or some people may be able to help as at a total dead end with this as don't want to subscribe to an expenses membership unless i can confirm these are the correct people im looking for.

Thank you for any help and please just let me know if i can offer any more info please.

Many Thanks

Stuart
