Hey,
I am new to this history search. I know next to nothing about my mothers side of the family and I want to put together something before my grandmother gets much older. Below is a brief description of what little I know, I have read all of your comments and I am wondering if their is any likely hood of a connection somewhere. 
My Grandmother said that her family never talked about their family's past so information is limited. someone contacted her late brother years ago and asked if he would contribute information as they were putting together a family tree, but unfortunately he declined.
There were five Paice brothers Three of which were enlisted in WW1. There parents were; George Thomas and Elizabeth Paice, native of Richmond Victoria.
They had 5 sons.
1. Fred Paice- Chief petty officer - Age 16
2. Bill Paice - Light horse
3. Harry Paice - ran away and joined WW1 at 16 - Served on western front, "25th machine"Harry Paice - January 1915 France and Belgium
4. Jim Paice - Married with one daughter
5. Charles Edward Paice
Charlie - was a Christian chaplain who hoped to become a Methodist Minister after the war but unfortunately he died in Gallipoli at age 21. - reports Gallipoli Graveyards state:
