My father is Alan Vincent Loxton - born 1927. His father was Samuel James Loxton born about 1894-5. His family was from Albany Western Australia. I think he had about 6 siblings - Claire, Nancy, Dorothy, Amy, Nina, and a brother - can't remember his name. Their mother was Alice Mary Burrows - I think born 1869 and their father - I think was a Stephen Loxton. Alice Burrows ran a boarding house in Albany.

I've been trying to look up my family tree and have become somewhat stuck on Evan Starkes. Dont know when he was born or where. My grandmothers name was Vera Starkes(nee Hodges)also born in Weston.

I have been researching my family history and think I am a descendant of William Stark child of John and Mary. There shows no record of him for Loxton and this is because he moved to Magor in Monmouthshire and his occupation was Agricultural Labourer.
