Hi all
I am currently researching my fathers background into the 'Anderson' family. I am hitting a major brick wall with what happened to a few of the family members once they arrived in Albany, Western Australia in December 1926. The family (minus my grandfather Alfred who came out later) consisted of:
Alfred 39
Ethel 38
Horace Charles 13
James Miles 9
Albert 5
Gladys 3
Irene 1
Dorothy 4 months
I have been able to find a bit of information from military records relating to my grandfather and Horace however the rest of the family have disappeared!!!
Alfred senior was a soldier in England and his address on the immigration file relates to the married quarters in Dover.
I thought I had a small clue when I read on Horace's military records addresses when his NOK details were amended.
There were - Mother (Ethel Anderson)
11 Unstead Villa, James Road, Pearmarsh, Guildford UK
Father (Alfred)
153 Douglas Ave
South Perth
These would have been around the 1939 - 1942 mark as he was married in 1943 and it was then updated to reflect his wife and their house address in Cottesloe.
If ANYONE knows of any of the above or are related to them somehow I would dearly love to find out more! Alfred and Ethel have become a complete mystery and the rest are great aunts and uncles who I'm sad to say have probably passed away as well..
Thanks in advance!!
