Can anyone point me in right direction, there are a lot of Blatchs in AUS and i'm trying to find if they are descendants of mine. Joseph Alfred Blatch son of my Gr GR grandparents went there with some of his children settled WA(1800's?) George Blatch went 1833 on ship Heroine from London he might be a relly if i find out more about him settled in NSW. A Reuben Blatch married a Ann Margry Grinham in 1902 i am reseaching this name too so be nice if theres a connection. Also 2 brothers George Claxton b1866 and William Claxton b. 1868 went to AUS they are ancestors of my mother. can anyone help?much appreciated Elaine

I emailed all the details I had to the queensland fhs and they found loads of info for me including names and addresses from the phone book, I sent out letters to all the names with coppies of photos and one was the right family. jenny x
