hi,
i am the great grand son of johny noels an islander who was apparently born around 1860 on lifu island near new caledonia. this information is based on his queensland marriage certificate (1885) and his queensland death certificate (1896). he lived in rockhampton north queensland for several years before his death.
i am interested in any information or possible sources of information about where he was born, who his parents were, when and why he left the island for australia (perhaps black birded?).
thank you
stephan schnierer
