Hello,
I am looking for help with tracing my Chinese roots in Australia.
I have an Irish-English great-grandfather who came to Australia. I have a name but nothing else. Some records refer to him as “British” or born on “Great Britain”; others say he was from Ireland.
Grandfather goes by the name of Ernest Davis; born in 1871 - 1873 In Beechworth. He ended up in Innisfail working at See Poy store; he may or may not have been a partner. He left Australia between 1903-1906 and emigrated to the Hong Kong area; married in China and emigrated to America.
Great-grandfather’s name was John Robert Davis.
We know absolutely nothing about Ernest’s mother, but she was likely Chinese or possibly Portuguese-Chinese.
If I can find someone who can research this I will gladly compensate them.
