Dear Carol
I am not an expert at family history just interested.

Looking at your details I would think your best policy in to google for the local history sites for Great Yarmouth and Manchester and then e mail them. A lot of these people are very helpfull especially to people from overseas.

There is a connection with this area and South Australia.
Queen Adelaide paid for a number of cottages for elderly watermen in Penge just 1 mile away from here.

The very best of luck.
