Hello there,
I am also researching my grandfather family,Charles Wilfred Woosnan .I have information on his history but was wondering if Charles Issac is his father and William Skelton
was his father.
Charles Wilfred settled in a Gold mining town and maybe Issac was killed in a gold mine,,I also have Issac as a mariner before settleing in Australia ??
If any of this makes sense then we can help each other out.
