For seven years I have been looking for George Ernest, Ralph, and Florence. Children of George and Lydia. Their other child Thomas Walter was my Grandad.My father was called Ralph born 1905 but known as Robert or Bob ( I believe he was named after his Uncle). I found Ralph on 1901 census aged 10 with his parents. There was talk of someone in the family going to Canada but I had no luck so I switched to Australia and there they were on 1930 census 1. George Ernest and wife Rose Hannah nee Russell who married 1903 at Newham (George under the name of Ernest) they had a daughter in 1903 called Edith May.2 Ralph who married a widow at the age of 40 in 1939 and also their mother Lydia who died in 1939. Their graves can be seen on the internet in a well kept cementary at Kurri Kurri New South Wales. This district was a big mining area in 1900.George Ernest next living child was born in Kurri Kurri 1907 followed by 2 more living sons.
I would like to know when Ralph and his mother went to Australia I cant find them on 1911 census?
Here is a coincidence the person who went to Canada was Robert Yemm (son of Jane Phelps my Great Great Aunt)who married Leah "Kate" White from the Forest. They had a daughter Catherine "Kate" born 1898 in The Forest. Kate married a Roderick McKinnon in Canada and moved to America about 1919

In Australia George's daughter Edith May married a Harold T McKinnon but died 1924 aged 21 years.

Six years ago my own daughter married a John McKinnon in Bedfordshire his grandfather was from Tyree.

Great Grandad George died 1930 he lived Horsepool Bottom.I would love to know when his wife went to Australia
