Wlliam and Fanny Gertrude and their 5 children emigrated to Australia way back in the 1930's or soon after. Are any of their children GR members over there in Oz I wonder. Any help in tracing this family would be gratefully received by the descendants of Fanny Gertrude's siblings here in England.

Oh Sue - thanks so much. I am overwhelmed and so will be all the family of Fanny Gertrude's siblings - 9 of them!

You really are amazing to find that out. I am too old for this game I think.
Best regards,
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer, if you edit your title to include Australia some of the members over there may be able to give you more info on the family once they got to Aus.

Hi Jennifer,
I remember Auntie Kitty & Auntie Fanny when I was a small child, they are related by marriage on Mum's side. Mum was a Holland/ Regan. Auntie Kitty was my Grandmother's sister. I am compiling some information on these two & the Hooker family. If you are still interested would you please email me direct on :
*******
and I will give you the information that I have.
All the best for 2013

HI Joan,

Welcome to the boards. Could I suggest you remove your e-mail address, this is a public site and it is against GR guidelines. You and Jennifer can exchange personal details by PM (private message) by clicking on her name.

Just go to your post and click on the edit button, no need to delete the post.

Hi all,
I don't know if this post is still active. I was just researching about my father, Edmund Thomas Clarence Hooker and came across it. My grand parents were William John and Fanny Gertrude Hooker. I am from my fathers 2nd marriage to Winifred Florence. She is now aged 92. I have 2 older brothers, Michael John Edmund and Larry James. We all live in the Sydney (NSW, Australia) suburbs. Please contact me if I can help with anything else.
Cheers,
Lee
