G-day all,

I'm trying to find the return leg of a family from Australia to England - it is thought sometime in the mid to late 1920's.

I have found the passenger list for them going to Australia but have searched ancestry but can't find them coming back. Does anyone have any suggestions please?

Name: Herbert EAGLE
Date of departure: 3 December 1920
Port of departure: Liverpool
Destination port: Fremantle
Destination country: Australia
Date of Birth: 1889 (calculated from age) Age: 31
Marital Status: Married
Sex: Male
Occupation: Labr

His wife's name was Gladys as was his Daugher who was about 1 when they went out to Aus and his son was also called Herbert and he was 2. Gladys his wife was about 27.

Hope someone can give me some direction or suggestions.

Thanks
Gypsyjoe

Ooh Thanks Andy where did you find that one? Do you know if this gentleman had the rest of his family?

Gypsyjoe

No he didn't Gypsy Joe x

Thanks Lesley

I wonder then if it is the correct person because from what I've been told from the grandson they all came back together.

This is research I'm doing for someone else so I'm rather keen to clear it up for them.

There's this on Australian Electoral Rolls. Original shows her with Herbert Christopher Eagle, farmer, Peel Estate, Jandakot.

Hi Margee

Thanks for that.

I did already have the children. Gladys the daughter is the mother of the gentleman I'm searching for.

The electoral roll is interesting where did you find that please?

Apparently the father was out there to lay pipes for water across Aus. Any idea where I might find this sort of thing out? I don't know anything about researching in Australia.

The marriage is the same one I came up with. Unfortunately this gentleman doesn't want to pay for certificates so I'll have to wait till I can get hold of parish records and see if I can find it.

The Australian electoral roll was from Worldwide Ancestry but I couldn't find anything else there and there was no further info on the original.

Like you, I don't know much about research in Australia. Canada is my area of expertise.

Thanks again Margee.

Anything is a help in some cases.
