Hi all, my wifes ancester Kathleen Bloomfield(Broomfield) came to Australia on the Steamship "Hawkes Nest"Kathleens GF was Henry Bloomfield a gardener.His son George born 1860 in the Parish of Minstead New Forest Lyndhurst was a labourer and later a haulage contracter and worked in the Forestry commission. He married Hariet Jane Gailor on may 16 1880 .They had the following children-
James George born Dec 1880
Walter Edward b Sept 1882
Ernest b march 1888
Elsie mary Agnes b dec 1883
Emily Violet Kathleen Maud b May 24 1886
Hariet Jane b1889 died at the age of 9
Hilda Rose died 7october 1955 age 63 married Eli Enos Phillips
Christabelle died at age 9

Kathleen aparently came to Australia after the man she loved perished on the Titanic.Why she chose to come alone we dont know,perhaps she had family already here.She married into the Newham family.Any help appreciated
