Trying to trace descendants of George Harry Walker ROBERTS born 17 Jan 1883, Wordsley, Kingswinford. Parents died when he was young, and he and his brother were sent to an orphanage. Known to have emigrated to Australia sometime after 1911. This is a long shot, but no harm in trying.

Tooty Frooty,
Thank you for your replies. You are correct in the census information. I know he emigrated after 1911 but not the exact year. There are a few candidates on passenger lists but not with the initials GHW. All efforts to find relatives in Australia have , so far, failed but I live in hope.
Thank you for your interest.
Derek
