Where are they after 1901 (edit - found in Australia! )

[LeicestershireLass]

In 1901 they're living in Ladywood Birmingham;

George (William) Mountford, 23, gold chain maker - b1878 B'ham
Laura (Edith), 20 - b1880 Coventry

Can anyone track them down after 1901 please?

There is a Laura Mountford travelling to Australia in 1904 - and I can also see a Laura Edith Mountford in the Australian Electoral rolls with a George William Mountford (jeweller) in the same household.
Just following it up - back in a mo!

Wow !!

No wonder I couldn't find any trace of them .. wonder if they had any children?

[Elaine ..Spain]

There are 7 Mountfords all in the same household, but no idea on whether they are all children or sons + wives ??

I don't know anything about Australian research - there are some links for NSW on the Australia page in the reference library which may help - click here

If you want me to add the word Australia to the title it may attract our "downunder" members or those that are familiar with Australian research.

Thanks for the links Elaine.

I've found 4 possible children - father George Wm Mountford / mother; Laura Edith

Gordon F Mountford born Waverley, NSW
Leslie C Mountford born Huntsville, NSW
Harry Mounford born Huntsville
George Fredk Mounford

Unfortunately I'm unable to access this information to obtain dates of birth as my subs does not extend to Australia info - so wondering if some kind person with Australia access will let me have any info that they find about this family - thanks

Thanks for this link Kylejustin;

I've now found birth years for; Gordon (1906), Leslie (1907), Harry (1909) and Raymond (1910) - I didn't find this one previously.

I presume George Fredk was born after 1911 ??
