No Kate was Charles sister she was an Oakley. The Oakley family came from Enfield. Estelle mentions that Charles junior went to live with his aunt Kate and there is the 1911 census record showing that |

Any chance your grandfather was in the Salvation Army? |

Sorry to confuse you all. My first time at this. Thank you Aileen for finding the death record for my gr grandfather, Charles Arthur Oakley. I just assumed he ma y have died at sea as he joined the Merchant Service, so I am thrilled to bits. I will also look into the possible burial in Qld for the Charles Oakley now. Kate Wright was my grandfather's Aunt and the sister of my gr grandfather Charles A Oakley (stoker). All my Oakley forebears lived in and around Enfield, Middlesex. The only info I have about my grandfather is that after the marriage fell apart he was seen boarding the train to the Eastern States from Kalgoorlie and have searched a lot for him but everything that you have since found for me is truly appreciated.

My grandfather went to New Zealand where he was confirmed in the All Saints Church, Taradale, Napier in 1921. He was about 19 years old. Not too sure about the Salvation Army. |
