I am trying to trace my grandfathers family. Ernest Charles Langley 1882-1946 (died in Sydney, Australia) married Alice, immigrated to Australia 1907 with brothers and sisters, lived in Stockport. Possibly worked in hat mills but don't know which one. His brother Henry/Harry started Union Hat Mills in Victoria, Australia.  Living in Australia I am having trouble tracing anything about hat mills, have family tree on Ancestry.  Any help greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Have you looked at any census images?

Ernest LANGLEY was not connected to the hatting industry in 1901.  He was a cotton mule spinner in a cotton factory.
 
His father, John, was a hatter apparently preparing felt.

The ship Persic arrived Feb 1907 and the manifest shows Ernest LANGLEY as a Butcher- as far as I am able to decipher. The three young children, as you say, siblings of Ernest LANGLEY, are listed- Elizabeth aged 8, Annie aged 10 and Harry aged 11. They were all contracted to disembark at Melbourne.
One William George LANGLEY was on the same voyage. He was 32 and I cannot decipher his occupation. He was contracted to land in Sydney.

Hi Sue
Im just going back over my records and wondered if you could tell me where you found this info please? I cant find it on NAA. I realise its been years but here's hoping.... Cheers Chrissy

Thanks for that.
Ernest and Alice are my grandparents on my Mum's side.

Yes I knew Ernest and Harriet owned the mills in Sydney.

I thought Henry may also have been know as Harry as Harry and John owned Union Hat Mills in Carlton Vic. Lots in Trove abt them. and Albert too I think.

We are in Hobart at the moment due to hubby's dad on palliative care and all the family are here.  We moved down from Millthorpe a cpl months ago.  Moving back to QLD next year after dad passes.

Do you have any family photos? My sister has all the photos and we don't talk.....

Margaret married George RUSSELL 2nd August 1882

Hi JM
thank you for all that info... very helpful....

I am looking for my ggrandfather   Francis Augustus BULLOCK/BRUCE.  I was told by my father that our surname was BULLOCK but that my ggfather changed it to BRUCE somewhere along the way...

I have his birth, marriage and death certificates.  He was born as BULLOCK but married and died as BRUCE

Francis Augustus BULLOCK b 1862 Young NSW d 1934 Randwick NSW

f) James BULLOCK b c1832 Southends Essex d possible drowning 1885 Jindabyne NSW 
m) Margaret Osbourne BEATTIE b) 1831 Kilmarnock d) 1892 Goulburn NSW

Francis married Mary Ann Louisa DEMPSEY Sept 1885 in Young NSW.

By the time he married he was using the surname BRUCE so sometime between 1862 and 1885 his name changed.


Hope this isn't too confusing lol.

Any help will be so very much appreciated.
