Wondering if someone could do a death lookup for NSW?
Frederick Llewellyn Rowland
b 17 March 1885 Victoria
parents are David Rowland & Jane Huston
he served in France in 1918
occupation Veterinary Surgeon
last known living in 1920
I was told that he moved to NSW
Any help would be appreciated.
In return I can offer lookups of burials at Ballarat Cemetery, Victoria, Australia.

It is possible for you to search the NSW deaths to 1975 online at http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au Click on Family History and then search indexes. I had a quick look but was unable to find a death reg for Frederick L Rowland.

hello there
I have found a possible death in Victoria
Frederick Rowland aged 70 at St Kilda year 1955 reference number 10078
but the father is David Rowland and the mother is Annie Hamlet
so don't know will check the births
regards jenn

Hi,
You would probably be aware that
DAVID ROWLAND died 1903 @62
JANE ROWLAND died 1928 @ 82 and
DAVID DAVIES ROWLAND died 1885 @ 14
are buried at Clunes Cemetery.
Wonder if DAVID DAVIES is a brother of FREDERICK.

hello there
by the birth the mother is Jane Huston
and David Davies is his brother but I can't deaths for the other children with the mother being Jane Huston either very strange
regards jenn
-
hello there
amended that I have found a few births now with David Rowlands and Jane Huston
so I think the death I have found is not applicable
he could have died in NSW after 1975

Hi All,
There is a death of David Rowland on the 7 Aug 1983 in New South Wales. that all it gives me.

Hi again,
Just wondered whether it is worth noting in the NAA file of his service history we see the following information.
On 10/8/1919, Federick was granted 6 months 'study leave' from the army to go to America and study 'agriculture' The end of this 6 month period brought the end of the war and the next entry sees them infoming the family that he has left San Francisco on Sept 21, 1920.
We see that he duly arrived home in Aust.
My thoughts...
Did he perhaps meet someone during that time in America and returned there .
As we can't immediately see a marriage in Aust or a death, it seems like a possibility.
Maybe you could look for him in US too.

Hi Ozybob, not sure if David would be related, depends who his parents are.

Hi Cando, Thanks for the web site, I didn't know about it, I have searched for Fred, Frederick, Rowland, Rowlands. No luck with any of these names. He may possibly have died after 1975 or died elsewhere other than NSW. I am still scratching my head over where to go next. Fun looking but frustrating not having an answer yet after 12 years of searching.

Hi Sue, Thanks, yes David is Frederick's brother and David & Jane are the parents and also are my great great grandparents. That is correct they are buried in Clunes.

Hi
Have you looked at his war service record on the national archives site? I think Sue's suggestion should be followed up.
www.naa.gov.au/The_collection/recordsearch.html
Did he study to be a vet? Perhaps you could follow this up as well.
Can't think of any other avenues at the moment ;)
Cheers

He was also given a month's study at Edinburgh[ UK] uni
1/7/1919 to 30/7/1919 in order to study 'animal husbandry'
So he did have time for things outside military life!!

Hi Sue, Thanks, I only found this information myself last month, (and I have been trying to locate him for 12 years) I am positive he came back to Australia as he was briefly living with his mother and sister Margaret in a house in Clunes. That is certainly an interesting thought that he may have returned to US. I've got a cousin who lives in US so maybe she maybe able to follow up that lead. It is becoming a process of elimination to try to find what happened to Frederick. Attached is a photo of Fred in his uniform.

Hi,
I have had a lot of succes posting on the US immigration boards of Roots Chat.
The US records are good and people seem very willing to help.
Worth thinking about anyway.

hello there greenemma
well he is a dashing figure you say he is uniform but where from? and do you know when the photo was taken
see by the war records he was 6'4" but he had no teeth but dentures ;D
which he gave away to another soldier
and that he was still at his mothers in 1924 presumably cause that where his medals were sent
it is possible that he lived to a ripe old age
have you tried the rookwood cemetery index at all?
regards jenn

Hi Jenn,
That was funny about the teeth!
The military cetainly took it seriously though!!
I did giggle.

Had a quick look at the 1930 US Census on ancestry.com - only one Frederick L Rowland b. abt 1883 New Haven CT.
I thought that if Frederick had studied to be a Vet in Aus, you may be able to chase up academic records, registration boards, etc.
Cheers

Hi,
Yes, The archivist at Melbourne University [for one] is very helpful and prompt. I have been able to get my grandfathers and great uncle's entire academic transcripts quite easily.
Interesting, but may not throw light on marriage or death of Frederick.

Found Frederick in 1922 in Australia.
The Ballarat Star Sat 14 Jan 1922 Page 11 Tourello (Victoria, Australia)
Accident. A slow recovery is being made by Mr Fred Rowland who met with a very severe accident, recently. He was travelling between Clunes and Tourello in a jinker, when he was overtaken by a motorcar travelling in the same direction, which struck the jinker with much force and smashed it almost to pieces. The driver was thrown heavily to the ground sustaining very severe injuries. The patient has just been
able to leave his bed within the past few days, and some time will elapse before he again becomes convalescent.
