I wonder if someone with access to Australian material could do me a favour. While I am familiar with searching in the English records, I am still a novice with Australia!!! I have lost an infant:
Florence Harriet Benson Bradford
I found her birth on freeBMD born @ Sculcoates, Yorkshire, 4/4 of 1874.
This infant figures prominently in an ancestor's will. Edmund George Benson died in Australia in 1880. Poor Edmund promptly died upon arrival in Australia. He leaves this child a very large bequest---but I have no idea which Bradford family she belongs with. [at this point I do not want to order her birth certificate] I cannot find her in the English census and I wonder if she was the unnamed child that accompanied James Edward Bradford when he left England for Australia with the above mentioned Edmund Benson. James Bradford died enroute to Australia and I have no idea what was the wife's first name. Not only have I lost the infant, but I have lost her mother as well. I know that they are out there somewhere floating in cyberspace. I would be most appreciative!
Many thanks, Kathleen in Toronto
