MAYES family
« on: Wednesday 28 September 11 23:03 BST (UK) »
Hello

Thomas Graham Mayes one of a family of 10, 7 brothers and 3 sisters, he was a twin born on 28/07/1866 and emigrated to Australia with his wife and family. His parents were John & Isabella mayes of islandkelly & Magheragall Lisburn Northern ireland

The family tree on this end going well but cannot build any picture for the Australian end, any help appreciated

Thomas also had a younger brother who went to Australia, Robert (Bob) born on the 16th January 1875. he had 4 sons and 2 daughters - Jock, Frank, Rob, Bill, Mab and Belle. They all seem to have emigrated to Australia, although Bill served as a navigator on Lancaster Bombers in the RAF during the war. He won the D.F.C and bar. Robert Mayes died 1953 i think

thanks

Hi there,

Do you know which part of Australia Thomas Graham MAYES and his wife and family migrated to please?  Also, do you know the name of his wife and their children, and years of birth etc, and possibly the year they migrated too...

Cheers,  JM

There is a digitised Army record for HUGH ROBERT MAYES .

He joined in the 1920's and his birth date was 29/10/1910 and birthplace Antrim Ireland. I cannot quite make out HUGH's occupation.

His father THOMAS GRAHAM MAYES was his next of kin and THOMAS was a storekeeper.

There are addresses and other details of interest in the file.
