Francis Wrathall of Victoria (1829 - 1893)
Part of Elizabeth Janson's web site has data on Francis Wrathall, who married Margaret Kaul (Kane) in 1856. Referring to Descendants of John Wrathall and Anne Pickersgill,
this is probably Francis Wrathall (b. 1829), the sixth son of James Wrathall (b. 1798) and Ellenor (b. 1796). This indicates that Francis Wrathall descends from the line of Francis Wraithall of Grassington (1583 - 1667).
In Aug. 2005, Richard Dunning of New South Wales, who can be reached at richev22(at)yahoo(dot)com(dot)au, mentioned the following about his research:
I have just been undertaking some research into my
mother's [Janice
Wrathall's] side of the family ....
Please find attached the missing data for the Wrathall
Family in Australia for Francis Wrathall.
I've only just commenced and will advise you of
further details/information as they become available.
