Hi
My family emigrated from England (Cumnor nr Oxford) in 1961. My father was Bryant Rudkin Frisby from Leicester - where else!
There are several families of Frisbys around the country. I am in Rockhampton, Queensland and there is another distinct line that have been in this area for two generations at least.
Thre are also early arivals in Adelaide (Frisby's Shoes - what else, must be Leicester!) and Bathurst in central New South Wales (Frisby's Meats, another Leicester family?). All we need now is a cabinetmaker/funeral director and we have the three family trades sewn up.
I know of two more lines in Sydney, but I believe they are relatively new arrivals. If any of these fit the picture, try the phone book on the net (Telstra White Pages). You never know your luck - good hunting.
Now if you here of a family of Frisby in Canada - let me know. My grandfather deserted my grandmother and headed that way between the wars. I'd love to know if he had any offspring.
