Research Notes

There was a story I was told that he was "associated with the Broken Hill Company". However his occupation is "Hawker".

Another story was that he fought in the Boer War. Australian Army archives failed to confirm this. He would be about 50 if he did.

Father's details seem to be omitted from the marriage certificate, though father was still alive at the time.
