Hi there, I am quite new to the family history researching game but I have made good progress so far. I have managed to track my family name back to an "Arthur Courtney" who lived in Sydney, Australia and died there in 1911. There is no birth record in Australia for Arthur, but I have managed to get a hold of a very old physical note that indicates his father was a "William Courtney" from Millwall in England, which as far as I can see is a locality in the Isle of Dogs, London.
But that's where my good luck has ended, I can't seem to bridge this gap - was Arthur born in England, emigrating with his father William? I know nothing of Arthur's mother either. If any one has any advice or can help me at all on what to do (or knows exactly where to search and can do so for me!) then I would really appreciate it!!! Thanks!!
