Hello,

Looking for family history on my GGrandfather Frank Hamilton Philip Davies. I know he was born in England but not sure were. He settled here in Western Australia not sure what date he arrived. The name Hamilton has been passed on to some member's of his family my Grandmother and my Father but not other siblings in the family over here.

Kind regards....Annola.

Go to Google maps Barnet is close to Winchmore Hill, where I live, cannot locate him in 1881, do you think he was in Oz by then?

DAVIES Frank Hamilton P   Chelsea 1a760
WILSON  Hallen Ada   Chelsea 1a7601912

Hallen is noted Ellen Ada on the 1903 and 1906 Electoral Rolls but Hallen in a newspaper report.  Some of the newspaper reports are quite sad as Hallen stated that Frank had a 'paralytic stroke". Perhaps his lack of personal care and subsequent behaviour may have resulted from this.  So sad.

If you like I could send snips of the Railways Employment register and passenger record.  I would need an email address.  I can't find Hallen in the shipping records.
