John Hankey - Any help appreciated :)

[karenbest500]

Hi All,

I have found out that my great uncle, John Hankey emigrated to Melbourne, Australia on 20 March 1913 from Liverpool, UK.
All the information I have, is that he was born in Jun quarter 1892 in Altrincham, Cheshire, UK and that he was a gardener. I have been told he got married but had no children but I have no names or places to start my search and I have no idea when he died.
Any help or assistance in pointing me in the right direction to start searching would be really appreciated.

Regards
Karen
