Hi John,

Not sure I can help you with the Australian WALMSLEY family but there may be
a connection way back in England. My wife's mother was Elizabeth Mary
WAMSLEY, born 1927 in Pennsylvania USA. I am still tracing her ancestors who
came from England and I will let you know if I find any connection. As you
will see the spelling is slightly different but, since it is an unusual
name, I am sure there must be a common ancestor way back.

Cheers
Tom
