Giltrap, James Leslie (& beyond)

[grigglespot]

James Leslie born wagga wagga NSW 31st August, 1895.His wife was Ethel O'Connell.
 
James Leslie's father was also known as James Leslie but am only guessing when I think his wife's maiden name was L. Bainsbrough?
 
James Leslie jun. enlisted for Australian Citizen's Military Force during world war 2( was obviously too young for WW 1)

There were 4 children to james and ethel that i know of John Patrick(my deceased Father in law) Kevin(wife Joyce), Robert( wife joyce?) and Mary(husband Ernie(dec).John Patrick was married to Eileen June Buncle. she left the marriage when my wife(now52) was approx 5 yrs old.........family spent a good deal of time in the swifts creek Omeo ,Tallangatta and Mitta Mitta area of victoria.

Hi grigglespot

I'm not sure exactly what information  you are searching for - you may like to give some information on same - but looking at your general information

There appear to be no births in NSW around the time given for a James Giltrap. In case you didn't know, you can search NSW online at
www.bdm.nsw.gov.au (follow the family history link)

There is the following birth record for 1891 with a slight change to the spelling
35461/1891  GILLTRAP  JAMES  Father GEORGE D  Mother CLARA  WAGGA WAGGA   

George and Clara had 9 children (GILLTRAP) - most at Wagga (the first at Albury) - from 1881 to 1898 and one, George, registered as GILTRAP who died when only a few years old.

There is a marriage in 1880 for George and Clara (name now spelt with one L)
2369/1880  GILTRAP  GEORGE D  BARTHOLOMEW  CLARA  ALBURY 

There is a marriage for James and Ethel in 1917
2203/1917  GILTRAP  JAMES L  O'CONNELL  ETHEL I  WAGGA WAGGA 
so her name was Ethel O'Connell.

If the James in 1891 is not yours, could your James have been born in another state or overseas?
