His wife Daisy died on 5.03.1928, about 11 months after the birth of his son Bevan Goyne Curnow.
Shortly after the death of his wife, Sydney boarded a ship to South Africa leaving his 3 children in Australia. They were all placed in foster care.
It is believed Sydney later re-married in South Africa and started another family.
