Dear Robyn
I have only just found this forum. Hope you are still a current member! WHITTLE was the maiden name of my husband's grandmother. We have found her father, George WHITTLE (plus wife & the children), on the 1881 UK census, living in Hillingdon, Middlesex, England. The census states that he was born in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire. From his age at the census, he must have been born about 1830. So far I have no further information about his brothers, sisters or parents. No family folklore exists about emigration to Australia... but then, no one knew he was from Worcestershire either! Is this of any interest to you?
Best wishes,
