Title: EVANS, BECKENSALL, SINCLAIR, GOODLET families
Post by: mcgyver on Monday 11 October 10 01:25 BST (UK)

Frances Martha Evans born 1865 Berkshire England. Known as Fanny Beckensall married Alexander Jas Sinclair. Frances died in 1914 in Victoria. Frances and Alexander had a son Harold Alexander Sinclair born 1891, died Heidelberg 28 Dec 1966. Harold married Mary Anastasia Goodlet, daughter of Samuel Goodlet and Mary Hayden. Mary Anastasia died in 1965.

Harold and Mary had two children: Alan Alexander Sinclair born 1915, and Betty Frances Sinclair born 1917.

I am looking for any information on this family, especially children/grandchildren etc., of Alan and his sister Betty.

Many thanks
mcgyver

Have just noticed the above ww2 record is digitised for reading at

You will get the address of the father HAROLD at the time of ALLAN's discharge.

Alan appears to be unmarried .
