We're trying to find out what happened to Agars Botterill, born 1861 in North Burton - aka Burton Fleming - in east Yorkshire, England. His parents were John Botterill and Esther Banks. He married Hannah Mook on 29 November 1887 in Langton by Malton (also in the East Riding); her parents are thought to be Richard and Mary Mook.
Thereafter, though, they disappear completely. Agars' two brothers, Frank and John, are known to have emigrated to Queensland - another family member found information about them via the Brisbane Family History Society, but there was nothing on Agars.
But you can't just vanish with a name like that!! If anyone has searchable indexes for any state of Australia relating to the period after 1887, we'd be hugely grateful if you could check him out for us. I've also posted this on the Queensland board, so apologies to anyone who gets it twice.
Thanks very much.
