 sorry for the delay --i didn't know i had a message waiting
--Margaret Willock  and John Murdoch are my (GGG) . Their son George Willock Murdoch  married my  GG Elizabeth Kent
This is as much as i know as i have been trying to find John Murdoch's parents  I beleive   it is Margaret Pollock and Robert (John ) Murdoch although  I have no proof

 I ordered a copy of Donald Edward Wilkinson's mothers will . Rosetta signed the will 1935 and directs a portion to Donald . The young fellow was alive in 1935 ,unfortunatley it does not give an address
 (She cut her sisters children out of her will ,I assume that's what step mothers are required to do ! )
 Once the will has been dispersed  is there a record where it went or is it assumed things were done as requested ?

i have looked at that probate  a number of times and it did not register as no will. Edith Maud Beck is the oldest child of Joseph Wilkinson and his first wife Margaret Jolly. My grandfather the oldest male  ran away at a young age . He was not in contact with his father or step again .  I think the Step passed in 1938 i am sure she would provide for her youngest
Thanks for the help

Donald Edward was the youngest son of Joseph Wilkinson and Rosetta Jolly of Birmingham England (Staffordshire,Warwickshire) Joseph married sisters Margaret Jolly was my great grand  died from complications in child birth The two oldest  ran away to Canada as boys/men around 1904-05 They may not have known Donald
I have received some good tips and direction i will work away at this for a time I have found most have a contact or a relative when immigrating.
Thanks
 for the help

my Donald Edward Wilkinson listed his profession on the boat as a clerk Was the one listed in 42  an engineer I found two a plumber and a furrier - My fellow came from a family the father was ships lamp maker / business owner  I assume he  had a good education. He had two brothers run away to Canada 1904-08 both listed themselves as carpenters
Will an Australian death cert give fathers name and profession
