Do you have any ideas at which point in your family tree you are related to Billy Tingle?
Can you tell us some more about why you think you're related to him - apart from the shared surname of course.
Regards, David
Billy tingle
Hi my grandfather was one of about 9 kids,making billy one of his brothers there was also a sister called eve I think,
my father has a picture of billy boxing a kangaroo,
My grandfather had two sons Brian and Bruce I am the eldest grandchild along with 5 other grandchildren
Harold my grandfather now has 9 great grandchildren girls dominated our side of the family, he only has two great grandsons and unless my brother has another child and its a boy the Tingle name on our side has stopped at him.
I have got my dad trying to find out other stuff from my uncle I really wish I had asked more questions when my pop was alive
Regards Amanda
re: Billy Tingle
Hi Amanda, thanks for the extra information. I'm not sure we can tell you much more, as it doesn't look like anyone else from his family was in Hong Kong.
Have you tried contacting this site:
