Hi
I wonder if I can get some help finding this person in 1911.

We know he came to Australia before 1918 as I have his marriage cert and Birth Cert .
Father Edward
Mother Annie

Alfred was born in Long Lake Tettenall Stafford on the 12 th Dec 1881.
He married 1918 in Western Australia, he was a carpenter by Trade.

I would dearly like to find details of when he came to OZ.

Can anyone help ,I am not sure if he was still around the UK in 1911.

Thankyou
Sue

Not at the moment finding a match in 1911

See from 1901 that his occupation is carpenter which is not helping with a match either

Thanks Flick/Glitter Baby

I do have Ancestry and I have searched there for travel info and I come up with so many,it is hard to know the correct person.

My Mother in Law (Alfreds 92 yr old Dau) says he left the Uk from Ireland but I see no sign of that .
He died when she was 5yrs old ,she has no photos and does not remember what he looks like .

Thank You for your trouble ,I am not sure any of them is him as he was a Carpenter all his working life...such a common name makes it difficult.

Sue

Edit
I am checking electoral rolls here in OZ just incase he came before 1911.
No luck here either.
