I am trying to find the lost family of Andrew Pearson born 04/03/1886 in Vellore, Muiravonside, Stirling.

He emigrated to Australia c1910, Came back to UK in 1970 before returning to Australia where he died shortly after.

I can find no records of him on any shipping lists etc and theres a rumour he went to the East coast of Australia. All records of him and his family seem to not be found. I know he had twins at one stage in Australia who became engineers?

If anyone can help or indeed knows the family please help :)

Kind Regards
Gemma

There were 3 marriages for an "Andrew Pearson" from 1910 to 1934, but this was the only plain "Andrew"

Yes as far as I know Andrew and his siblings did not have middle names, his brothers certainly didnt.

This record seems promising, Thankyou very much
