Hi,

I was wondering whether some kind person could see if they can find anything on the following family?  I do not know which part of Australia they went to though, could be NSW but not certain.

I know they were all born in Ore in Sussex England, they were still living in Sussex at the time of the 1901 census but apparently left for Australia sometime after the death of Isabella's husband STEPHEN THOMAS WILLETT. Stephen died in Sussex in June 1901.

ISABELLA JANE WILLETT (nee Gallop) born c1863 in Ore died c 1938

WALTER WILLIAM WILLETT born 1887 in Ore died c1960

FREDERICK THOMAS WILLETT born 1894 in Ore died c1956

NELLIE MELISSA WILLETT born 1890 in Ore died c1964 (married name could be Gardener)

REGINALD CHARLES WILLETT born 1896 in Ore died c1979

FRANK ERNEST WILLETT born 1898 in Ore died c1980

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Kind regards,
Blue

Any chance of tracing a James Fowler aged about 15 who emigrated to Australia probably somewhere between 1948 and 1955. He was with his mother and stepfather. Unfortunately I do not have his mother's new surname but she was a Catherine Robertson before she married Robert Fowler, James' father, who died.

I got an email saying there was a reply. I followed the link and got to the site. How do I access the reply? - I am new to this as you will guess

Hi Blue,
This is a bit confusing, but I remembered the name Pressley from somewhere else on Rootschat and I have found it.
You will see in the last posting of the thread a clear connection to your search.  SOMEONE else is on a similar track!!
