Trying to find Randall

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

RANDALL: ASFORDBY TO AUSTRALIA I am trying to trace the descendants of two of my Great- Uncle's: Stephen Randall (born 1889) and Horace Randall (born 1891). They are both descendant from Asfordby, near Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, England although emigrated to AUSTRALIA around c1906/7 (spelling might be Randell too). Here, we know they got married and had children of their own - contacts were kept int touch with another great uncle Herbert (known to family as Sonny) and we do have photographs sent to the family but no actual information. I believe both men died in their 70s. If anybody has any information or photographs regarding these two relatives I would be very grateful if they could get in touch - especially any Australian descendants - as they have a whole family still here.

Hi Alan, haven't been in touch much of late as work keeps everythimg else in the background!! just read your post and it seems that neither of us has had any luck with finding our Australian cousins, but I have an idea that George may also have emigrated to Australia
Carry on searching, kind regards

Hi again - If parents are Thomas & Elizabeth (thanks to Lewella) - then this fits: Stephen William Randall d 1964 (reg. 36104) at Hurstville (Sydney) (parents Thomas & Elizabeth) ..... An Arthur James Randall d1938 (parents Thomas & Elizabeth Helen). (this could be 'Mr A Randall age 30' shown on shipping arrivals). ...there's a Marriage1913 Stephen William Randall to Jessie Isabel M Payne (she died1970 -parents Albert & Frances) There's JOY MURRIN's transcription service -on-line she will search Stephen Wm Randall's d cert (1964 36104) as Aus d certs give names and ages of all his off-spring. Her fee is from $7. .....Valerie
