Hi Jeremy
I have just come across your post from 2007.
You mentioned you were doing research on behalf of your Uncle Rex Ewins. Would his wife's name be Jean by any chance? If so, I believe we may be very distant relatives as my paternal grandmother was Edith Emily Ewins who was born in Franche in 1884. She and my grandfather came to Australia after their marriage in 1912 where they lived for the remainder of their lives.
I would love to hear from you at your convenience. Regards, Barbara
