Sorry, Doug.On re-reading your earlier posts I now realise you had not seen the photo to which I referred.I can send it to you if you wish, if you drop me an [email protected] , no obligation !
You are correct that there is a list of family members, depicted in the photo, given in an earlier post, but I have received also a partially conflicting list of names from elsewhere.I do not know who holds a definitive list !
I do seem to be the only contributor to this board researching - I use the term loosely - the descendants of George Frederick's second wife, Louisa LUDBROOK, and I have a very far from complete picture of that. So I can well understand Arthur OLDAKER's reluctance to follow up all the Canadian and Australian descendants !There must be literally hundreds by now.
Having twice gone to live abroad myself, in the comforting knowledge that within a few hours I could be back 'home' again, courtesy of a cheap airline, I have to admire the courage of those who sailed off into the truly unknown a century ago, leaving family roots behind, probably permanently and never to be seen again.I do not think I could bring myself to do that.
