Above left London for Adelaide in 1912. Are there are free search facilities to follow up please? Both were born in Biggleswade/Edworth, Beds in 1874/1873 respectively.

Thanks.

Thanks Vera, Satnav. I obviously didn't search the death register very well, because I didn't pick up either deaths, so assumed they'd stayed in Australia! Joanna had brother and sister living in Hitchin/Royston areas as well!


Thanks again for your help.
