Hi,
I'm a new listmember. I'm researching an ex-Leicestershire farmer who was demobbed after WW1 and given an un-farmable piece of land in Vic. He went home to his family in England during the Depression. They had told him that things were much better there, only to find that his family really just wanted him as free labour on their farm :-(

His surname was Granger and I do not know where his land was. I do not know Vic geography and the only place names I have as possible locations for the farm are Bendigo and Langwarren.

Q. Would there be immigration records for him for his arrival in Aust?
Q. Would there be emmigration records for his return to England?
Q. He married at St Paul's in Koordrook on 16 March 1925 - would there be any records/information from this?

Thanks,
Miss G.
