Dear Margaret Dine or others - You've got my attention here because you've got my family tree that I've been researching for the last few months up on the internet. I live in Victoria and my search has a definite purpose in that I'm trying to locate where Earnest Leslie James ended up as well as my Dad's two first cousins, one male, one female who visited his home in Brighton Melb in about 1956 and he hasn't seen or heard from them since. He believes that they moved to Qld or Brisbane with their parents. I have only started to unlock the secrets of my family in the last few months because my grandfather seems to have separated himself from them by either accident or design - long stints in the RN and RANavy didn't help. He has reconnected with some of the other cousins. You probably don't want to here this but you've unfortunately got some missing bits of the James family tree. Will and Emma were married in TAS on 5th May 1857 in Launceston. Their first child was Emma Eliza 1858.Alberton - Port Albert and Earnest and Harold ( a non - surviver) had three other siblings Frederick Ross(OBE)1903-75(one child), Lillian Maidment(no chn)1910-76,and Stuart Bernam1906-50.William James died at Alberton/Port Albert Vic at age 39 in 1872. Born circa 1833 - Maybe Oakfield(Ryde) Isle of Wight and Emma Tame the daughter of Joseph Tame and Martha Brown( died South Melb aged 79 1885) died in South Yarra aged 60 in 1897 born circa 1836 and was born in London. I have some of the documentation to back some of these unproven theories up-most of it seems to fit together quite well though. I've got lots more information on this family than I can put on here-could go on and on.
