Ken,
I meant to say if these were taken in England. So sorry for the misunderstanding.

Hi Ken,
The only name I recognize is Alice Clara Acworth. If these were taken in Brisbane, they may have come over from England with the family. Is there any chance you could send me a copy of Alice's photo? I notice we can put up attachments on these messages. If not that's ok.

Hi Gerry,
Thanks very much for the information. I knew about Louis in 1887, but didn't know about Louis Joseph in 1889 or the A.W. Acworth, electrician and I wasn't aware Herbert Acworth was a plumber. That gives me a little bit more of the story.

I'm happy to pass on anything I have, if you are interested. Anything else you come up with would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again
Kay

Hi Ken,
That photograph sounds like it may be the Alice I'm looking for. The family came from Croydon, Surrey.  Do you have any more details?

Thanks for answering, Gerry. I appreciate anything you may have.  I have quite a bit but there are always holes to be filled and it is hard to say exactly what I need, as I am trying to piece together their lives, so all the mundane things are very welcome.  I have the details on the insolvency, but I am having trouble finding anything on a plumbing business.

Not being in Qld makes it harder for me, and if anyone has anything from UK, that would help a lot too.  I would also like information about the children left in UK, Emma Amelia, Alice Clara, and Arthur James.   Is everyone aware that Louis and Emma returned to England?  Louis died 21st July 1895 but I haven't got his exact buriel.  Emma died Sept 1899, (no date) buried Newton Abbot Devon England.  Louis Joseph was another son who was already married and came out twelve months later. He is my GG Grandfather.

In case there is confusion, Acworth is one family which can be traced back to at least 13th Century. There are an awful lot of branches, but we all belong to the one tree.

Regards
Kay

Hello everyone searching Acworth

I am in the process of compiling a lot of information into a book on my Acworth line. Louis Acworth was my GGGGrandfather. If anyone has any information or would like some we may be able to help each other. 

Regards

Kay
