[DaveHam9]

Thanks Geoff.

Bexley/Rockdale is a best guess.


Sands Directory
James Chambers Missenden Rd [118] in 1918, but not 1919.

That 1913 is the only ref to middle name Richard. Not in marriage or death reg or death notices.

Actually, that is not James.

Yeah, looks like a job for Rupert..

Oh!

I'll have another look, I think that was the only James & Margaret

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

The address would be correct. But, I don't have 1903.

Son William John
Enlisted Sydney Showground 8 Nov 1916 - S/N 4750 30th Bn - William 23 yrs 11 mo born Enmore, NSW Labourer - NOK father Chambers James living at 118 Missenden Rd Camperdown, NSW - Embarked Sydney HMAT A68 'Anchises' 24 Jan 1917 - Served in France - GSW to head - Returned to Australia per HT 'Margha' 7 Mar 1919 - Discharged 18 Apr 1919


It's possible 'Margaret' is also not the wife of James but the wife of a son.

We looked at this family on the Deaths board.

Yeah, I vaguely remember the address..

If his father was elsewhere in 1913 he wouldn't be eligible to vote in that area!

Geoff

 

[horse]

Interesting that in 1913 James Jr. is at Missenden Rd., and in 1916 gives Missenden Rd. as his father's address.

Given the current facts, something like hospital patient comes to mind

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

In May 1918 James was living at 9 Brighton Ter, Grand Pde, Brighton-le-Sands, NSW.

No mention of hospital.

The Sydney Morning Herald - Saturday 9 June 1928 p.14
DEATHS
CHAMBERS.-June 1, 1928, James Chambers, late of 317 Bay-street, Brighton-le-Sands, beloved father of Jim, Alice, Joe, Fred, and Will, aged 76 years.

I'll look for 1903 next time I'm at the library.

HURSTVILLE—HURSTVILLE
Challenor Florence Louisa Mary Cronulla-street domestic duties
Challenor Thomas Henry Cronulla-street metal polisher


James senior [10 x James Chambers] do you know his occupation ?

Rupert

 

[DaveHam9]

Thanks Rupert.

Probably no help but he was an engine fitter in England when he was young. I have nothing re occupation for him around 1913.

I'd say he should have been at the Missenden address. So not on the roll.
