The Stickland family in Australia started in Ballarat in 1851 with brothers Nathaniel 
and Henry John, both arriving from Portisham in Dorset around that era. Most family 
members remained in Ballarat but 3 sons and 1 daughter of Henry moved to Western 
Australia in the 1890's. Moses and Thomas Henry became miners and worked the fields 
of Kalgoorlie and Cue, residing in Cue for some time before moving to the city of 
Fremantle. The daughter Mary Ellen married William Pearse Caddy in Perth and lived 
for a time in Cue and then moved to Fremantle. Thomas Henry joined the military in 
Cue at the start of WW1 and was killed in action in France. George Stanley who is the 
grandfather of my deceased husband Ray, married in Perth and lived and died in 
Subiaco.
