I am searching information on my father John Joseph Latimer know as Jack born around 1914 he was killed in a car accident around 1943-1944. He had 2 or 3 brothers I am unsure of how many brothers as they had nicknames one of which was Bunty and one sister. At time of his death he was living in North Brunswick with my mother, my older sister and his father who worked locally at a rope works. His sister and her husband had dairies in Brunswick and had a show horse, then went on to be licensee of a hotel. One of his brothers lived in Coburg and another I think in Collingwood. I would welcome any information whatever no matter how small.
My grandmother Nellie Josephine Rowe (Irvine, nee McPhee), had many brothers and sisters we never knew of. She was a jillaroo and then a housekeeper for many families around Australia. Especially Hawthorn in Melbourne, and Alberton in Gippsland. Her parents Jessie and 'Pop' McPhee lived in Wandiligong until the 1950's and 1960's when they died. All replies will be answered.
Dear Geoff, My name is Patricia Fowler sister of Terry Harris. We are researching our family tree on our father's side and notice your reply to our query regarding Albert Harris MLA for Gippsland on the message board. We think his father was born in London whose name is Henry Philip Harris who married Catherine (surname unknown). Have you any further information regarding this? If so, we would love to hear from you. Terry's email address is gandtharris@bigpond.com. I wonder If we are related?!!! Kind regards, Patricia.
