ok some more help if at all possible  on the leach side (l am so grateful  for all the help l have received so far )  l have now 175 names across my family tree so far  and still have a long way to go   

The main one now is the leach side discovering the family both maternal side and paternal sides from 1911 charles leonard leach's family  we think he may have had 2 brothers and 1 sister .  trying to see were they went too .

l have found her on the emigration list
as        GRUBB   Nellie    1873   F   1925   London   Australia   Melbourne

There is a Nellie Grubb arriving in London from Hobart in 1925.

It says

Wm C Grubb Born about 1844 Proposed residence in UK 135 Clare Street, Northampton, retired merchant
Nellie Grubb  Born about 1873, Rank or profession = DD (??)

Last permanent country of residence Tasmania.

I think he is William Coleman Grubb. Born in Shutlanger 1843.  Married Sarah Ann Parler in Hobart in 1868.  They had 4 children, one being Ellen (Nellie I assume) born in 1872.  She died in Queensland in 1940.   I googled William Coleman Grubb and found a Stoke Bruerne family website that said this family moved to Tasmania in 1860/1870 and that William came back for a visit in 1925, age 80 with his daughter Nellie.  So I think this is the one you are looking for.

So if you know who was living at 135 Clare Street in 1925 you might be able to work out the family connection??

Some of them haven't been here for some time, and email addresses do change, but hopefully you will get a response.

In the meantime, please do have a look at the site here - there are lots of helpful people and interesting topics, and if you have a query which you think we can help with, make a post yourself.
