I can see their passage in 1928 to Oz....they left Liverpool bound for Melbourne on 15th Sept 1928.

The address they left was in East Lothian,but I can't read the place name  :(

Oh, that's a shame. Are you able to post the image for us to try to decipher?  :-\ (Not that it will probably help in the search for Herbert ...)

It's fine if you don't know all the answers to all the questions, but if there are some you can answer it might help us to help you.  ;) Just tell us if you don't know.  :)

For example, I have the 1901 Scottish census here and I would like to try to find Euphemia on it, however I'm still not sure what her maiden name is ...

If we draw a blank with Herbert, might be worth Peter posting a new thread on the Armed Forces board specifically looking for further information about Herbert? If, as Peter says, Herbert was a foundation member of the RAF, then there must be some record of him somewhere, and hunting him down may require specialist knowledge.

What do you think aghadowey?

(Of course Peter should provide a link to this thread so anyone who wishes to help can see what has been found so far and get a bit of background behind the reason for the search.)

I've never been able to work out how to save a Lizardtech(DjVu) document.
The only thing I am able to do is to print the page and then scan it.
But one of the inks has run out on my printer and as a result the whole damn thing won't work  >:( All colours ordered but only 3 of the 4 have arrived!

I need my technie 30 year old son to arrive and show me how to save differently.

The address is 19 Church Street,and a place name of something like Tranent? East Lothian.

I wonder if Herbert was already married?

Have you searched for Herbert under the name Bert?

Oh in that case I think it'd be best put into the 'too hard basket'. I'll have a poke around and see if I can find any likely places.
