Hi Annie.

I’m researching my family and my great grandparents and grandfather lives at 64 Glenwood Street. It looks like they may have been the occupier after your granny.

Hi Kaz

I’m a descendant of Joseph and Mary’s son, James.

I’d be very happy to share any information I have.

Australia / Robert Gibson, Belfast to Australia
« on: Monday 21 December 20 00:28 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All

I’m looking for someone that I hope is still alive. His name is Robert James Gibson. Born 1937 in Belfast to Robert and Josephine nee Wilson . His grandparents were William and Hester (Hessie) Nee Kirkpatrick. He immigrated to Australia in the 60s I think, and may have grown up near shank hill.

It’s all of a bit of a sad story I’m afraid. My grandad Thomas Gibson was his uncle. Thomas was disowned by the family as he changed religions. He later met my grandmother in Dublin, and moved to Wimbledon. He died in 1975 when my mum was only 16 so we know virtually nothing about the family.

I’ve been trying to piece together information on what happened and I think Robert could shed some light on things as my mother remembers him visiting my grandad when she was very young just before he went to Australia (this is where I got the 60s from).

All I know is that he lives in Melbourne and would be in his 80s, his wife is Helen.

I’m on ancestry but as the census aren’t out get I can’t find anything on him in Australia.

Any help would be wonderful.

Australia / Re: Australian Look up - Florence Eliza OFFORD

Hi there

I’ve just found this thread on the internet.
Florence was my great grandfathers sister. I’m a decendant of William George Offord born 1895
We don’t know much about his father George as we were told that he left Minnie for another woman.
After the marriage breakdown William George was passed to aunts and auncle (not sure which yet).
We don’t know much about Florence and what happened to her.
The family has found a lot about our ancestors and we have some pictures you maybe interested in seeing.
It would be wonderful to swop information.

What I can tell you at the moment is that William George married Gladys Louise Redington who was a wonderful woman. I have a few memories of her as a very young child. William passed away in 1975 and Gladys in 1987. They had three girls and a boy, two of whom are still alive and in their last 80s early 90s.  Gwendoline their daughter was my grandmother. She passed away about 15 years ago.

From the thread I’ve seen it looks as though Florence has 4 children?

Look forward to hearing from you.
