    What would you like to discover?

    Thank You

    Question Alice Winifred

    Hi,

    I am a first time user and seen this thread and i thought i would ask you for some information on Alice Winifred Dalstenne. If you have any at all.

    My Grandfathers name is Charles Henry Dalstenne and he passed in 1947. He was born in February 1921. He Married my Grandmother Ivy Spillman. They had 2 children together before his passing. Patricia Dalstenne and my father Maurice Frederick Dalstenne.My grandfather passed when my father was 10 months old aged 26 and a half.

    My Great Grandfathers name was also Charles Henry Dalstenne and Great Grandmothers name was Alice Winifred Catten. I have not yet found any marriage certificates or notices suggesting marriage in Australia. I only know this information as i have seen my grandfathers death certificate with his parents names on it.

    We also have enlistment papers for the australian Army that tell us that Charles Henry senior and Alice Winifred were in Broken Hill and he was working in the mines before trying to enlist.

    I am sorry that i have no information on Thomas Cropley. But this is the first time i have come across any information that MAY have to do with my fathers family. They are very secretive and as you can imagine, after my grandfather passed away so did anything to do with his family. There may be a connection or there could be no connection at all but i have to check it out.

    Thanks for any info you can give me

    Thanks for that. Yes these are my great grandparents. They immigrated with my grandmother Alice Winifred Dalstenne (Cropley) b1905 to Australia. My great grandmother left her husband when my gran was about 14, and my gran had to bring up her siblings. I do not have any info on my great grans whereabouts?

    Thankyou very much, as you said the Dalstenne is a very secretive family. I have joined the ancestry site and also Genes reunited, I have had some contact about our family heritage they have told me that there is no too many Dalstenne.
    I have been told that the name is either Dutch or Jewish, my mum tells me it must be jewish as she has a big nose. Nevetheless, my grandmothers name is Alice Winifred Cropley nee Dalstenne, her mother Alice Cotton left the family when she was a yound lady and she had to bring up her siblings. I am not sure on all there names but I remember Aunt Mem, AUnt May and I am sure there was one brother I think his name was Charles Henry.
    My Great Granddad died in Broken Hill, my gran b 1905 married Thomas Henry Cropley who was from Canada is was quite considerably older than her b1879. The Cropley family disinherited my granddad when he left Canada he travelled all over mining for gold etc, he went to Africa and then London and then AUstralia.
    I hope the above is of some assistance too.
