Looking for: Frederick Price (birth approx 1845 to 1855) - father of George Henry Price born USA 1872.

George Henry Price is listed as being born in the USA. On his death record his father is listed as a Frederick Price and mother Lily Sachfield. I have been unable to find any birth records for George Henry nor any record for Frederick or Lily Price.
My feeling is that Lily and Frederick possibly met in USA, Lily had George to Frederick before returning home to the UK/Ireland and George then traveled to Australia with his uncle (Lily's brother). Any help with locating information on Frederick Price or even a birth record for George would be greatly appreciated.
File attached is of George Henry Price.

Hi Kathleen,

Yes I have George's death and family information. But nothing on his parents. It is his parents I am searching for - Frederick and Lily. In an article he stated his father died when he was 11 years old but I suspect that was possibly his uncle, not his father.

George remained a US citizen up till age approx 83 when he applied for old age pension only to find out he was not an Australian citizen. Other members of our family are also researching Frederick and Lily to no avail.

Stories surrounding his birth have been that he was born when his mother and uncle were on their way to AUS... That he was born in USA waters/New York. Once born his mother apparently returned home instead of coming to Australia and that her brother continued to AUS with George. No mention of the father ever comes up in these stories.

So I have broadened my search to start looking in USA for Frederick.

Thanks again.

Helen
