Oh and when I say migrated here, I mean to Victoria, Australia.

I’m trying to research my grandmother’s family but I’m not having much luck as I know almost nothing about my great grandfather and very little about my great grandmother.

My great grandmothers name was Ethel Parsons. She was married to a man by the name of Thomas Joyce.

I believe that both of them were born in England and my great grandmother migrated here in the 1920’s without her husband but with her 5 children as the husband was ‘not nice’ (for want of a better word).

Together they had 5 children. Doris, Agnes (my grandmother - born in 1913), Fred, John, and Rose.

I recall my grandmother saying that she lived in a place called Willenhall in the West Midlands if that helps.

I do also recall that Ethel had a sister they called Fanny. I remembered this as when I was young I thought it was funny.

While I would like to go back as far as I can for both my great grandmother and great grandfather, I would also be interested to see where Thomas Joyce’s life took him after my great grandmother migrated here without him.

Any help to start me off would be very much appreciated.
