My great great great father on the birth of his daughter in 1815said his occupation was a willow hat manufacturer.  Can anyone shed any light on this.

In 1819 he had moved to Suffolk and was a willow cutter, he lived in Stowupland.  Does anyone know anything about willow cutting in that area

thanks

Hi
Thanks so much for your help.  I will look into those contacts.  My problem is I know so little about him.  But as I was growing up my mum was in quite alot of contact and I know it is abit sentimental but they sent my a doll when I was young that I loved and still have (my daughter looked after it after me!).  So I would really like to track them down.  His name was George Cox he was born in Leytonstone in 1887 and went to Brisbane in 1920's or 30's I have no idea when he died, but most of his family lived to a good age ie 80's.  He may have had Salvation Army contacts my uncle can remember them coming to the house and playing when they left for Australia.
I realise how difficult this is, as it does not seem easy to look up ship that came to Australia and their passenger list, if I could get this I would not mind going through them but I have not found any possible sites.
again thanks

Hi
Do you know anything about emmigration to Queensland from Uk
If so I am looking for Cox's who emmigrated in the 1920 or 30's and settled in Brisbane area. I know its a long shot ...
