Frank should be in 1901 census.

FS is ignoring any filters chosen and showing all results in any order. Totally useless.

 

[DaveHam9]

I don't think there is an image for the 1907 marriage.

No age at death found so far for Frank. Don't know where he was cremated. Possibly Northern Suburbs.

Frank was a public servant in NSW maybe his DoB can be found?

Thanks Geoff.

One record says arrived 1908. Married 1907 - 8 years in British army so should be in 1901 census.

Not seen him in the census, Dave. Will take another look..

If he was with the British Army, he may have been engaged in the Boer War [1899-1902]. Think dates are correct.

Yeah, I had a look on Anc. Military section, nothing fitting. Still nothing with those details for 1901 either.

He doesn't appear to be in the London E/R's either.
