The first official record I have found of James in Australia is his marriage certificate.
On the 25th of February 1925, James married Ivy Agnes Nesbit at Eaglehawk, near Bendigo, Victoria, Australia.
Ivy already had a son, Charles Victor, born on the 23rd of February 1923, who was adopted by Ivys sister May. There are two conflicting stories about the identity of Charles father. The first I heard was that his father was Mays husband Andrew Scott and the other story was that his father was James McFarland. James used to take my mother, Emily to see Charles regularly when she was a child.
The electoral rolls show the couple were registered for voting in the Eaglehawke/Bendigo Region.
Have you ever seen a wedding photo?
