Hi Mcgyver
I do know that Frances Beckinsall married James Sinclair at St Frances Catholic Church  here in Melbourne. I have put in a request for the marriage certificate and have also ordered my Grandfather's Harold Sinclair's birth cert as well. There may be some info on that re Jane.
I seem to remember seeing a very old photo of a lady who I was told was poppa's grandmother so that must have been Jane.
I will try and find the photo.
I will keep searching.

I became a member of this site because of a file that I found in regard to Walter Beckensall. I am researching for a book which is unrelated to Gallipoli and happened across a police report of Walter's mother, Jane, trying to locate her grandchild. It includes her handwritten letter and Victorian police attempts to locate the whereabouts of Mrs Russell and the child Frances Walter Beckensall. I photographed the documents because they looked interesting and just did a google search and came up with your posts on this site. I don't know how this site works but I'm more than happy to forward an email with all of the document photos attached. Hope this helps to solve a few questions,
regards,
Michael

Hi Michael69
wow that would be great I am sure McGyver would be thrilled, we are related through a direct line with Jane Evans . She was my grandfather Harold Sinclair's grandmother.

Hey royboys, I normally wouldn't photograph documents that are unrelated to my research but this little file touched me for some reason and I got the feeling that it would be important to a family that would normally never have found it. I literally came across it in a box of dusty old pages from 1916. I'm so happy that I've found some people who will treasure it. I can email it to you right now if you'd like, just having some coffee before heading off for some more research.

Hi Everyone, we have just joined this long line of relatives and researching information on my Grandfather Francis Walter Beckensall/Russell. I have already found all info mentioned previously right back to Jane Evans and now I'm stuck. I'm a little confused about exactly who all Jane's children are and who they all come from as there seems to be quite a few of them.
Mcgyver you sound like you are my direct cousin, not sure who though  :D

If anyone has any further info that will help work out where I come from as I'm clearly not a beckensall or Russell.
