The address intending to stay at is stated on the shipping record.

all the whitlarks around are all in usa I might get the england phone books out tomorrow and have a look. Funny rushland is extinct, I would have thought there would still be someone in england called rushland, ill check that too tomorrow!

these whitlarks are wierd! when the boys signed up to the military they both gave their next of kin as ada emily but her address as the white house kew london that was in 1915, but then she is on the 1930 NSW census as living with John Ashton?

What about looking at Electoral Rolls

Cheers Sue

Sue - see 1911 census on previous page -- Ada and the kids were still in England in 1911, but it seems husband/father Whitlark had gone on ahead.

Since Phyllis married in England, had they left her behind, or did she return to England from Australia and marry?


Ah - just noticed the part about Jr and Sr enrolling in military -- one suspects that Ada and Phyllis didn't accompany Jr to Australia either? Phyllis might actually only have gone out when her husband died.

Extinct names - there's the odd Rushland in the US too, I think, but I suspect they come from a Scottish line. Mine is Lincolnshire in the 1700s. There are a scad of them in the IGI in that century, but by 1800 there was only my last Berry Rushland left, and he had multiple daughters but only two sons, who didn't reproduce. My Rushland grx3 grmother set up house with her sister's widower after her sister died. ;)

(I was just inspired to try to find Frances Rushland's death - she's at FreeBMD as Francis Rusland, and dang, I can't correct the surname, to make it properly the last Rushland in the records, because it actually says Rusland.)

thanks for all your help :)

Ive found Adas death! 1941 london! was untranscribed

Congratulations! Slogging gets you there much of the time. ;)

Since the other Whitlarks seem to have departed to the US, your Ada may be like my Frances: last one of the surname to die in England.

At least your Ada's name is entered correctly so that record is there ...
