Were his parents Robert & Harriet, Oletta? If so, then Frederick died 17 April 1909 in the Burwood district (lived Emu Street).
Charlotte married Frederick Hewitt
Albert Pears married Ethel M Baldock in the Ryde District 1908
Maud married Henry A Fitzmaurice in the St Leonards district 1908

Hello
Cannot thank you all enough for all the very interesting information you have all kindly sent me.
But I am having trouble trying to find a death for Florence Adelaide johnston nee Pears. I have a death for her husband James G Johnston which I hope is correct in 1910 - Newtown district and married 1907, Sydney. And the one that is a really problem is Sophia Pears born 1895, Penrith, Cumberland, cannot find a marriage or death for this lady, so far.
Thank you all once again
Best wishes

There is a private tree on ancestry which has a photo of Sophia May Pears b 1895 and a photo of Forence Ada Pears.
A few possibilities for Florence but they all seem to be for Florence Ada:
There is a death of a Florence Ada Johnston with parents Frederick and Sophia in Albury in 1946 reg 15071/1946
And there are several possibilities for a remarriage including to a McGregor and there is a death of a Florence Ada McGregor in 1959 age 77 years in Harris Park with no parents given reg 7782/1959
There is a public tree on ancestry which has Florence Ada Pears born 1886 and marrying James Greentree Johnston (1884-1951) and died in 1958 with this cemetery reference
Australia Cemetery Index, 1808-2007 about Florence Ada Johnston
Name: Florence Ada Johnston
Death Date: 19 Feb 1958
Death Location: St Vincents Hospital
Cemetery: Woronora Crematorium
Cemetery Location: New South Wales
The equivalent death index on NSW BDM says she is 86 and died in Darlinghurst - no parents given reg 609/1958

Hello Oletta,
hope you got my previous message, I'm finding all the messages after you first posting very interesting.
I note you were wondering when Frederick and Sophia married. I have their marriage as 30/8/1877 at Penrith. (Cumberland UK) Hope this is of help to you.

Hello Oletta, and any other Pears family members,
I have a feeling that a previous note I wrote didn't make it to the list, so I'm re-sending it, apologies if it's duplicated.
My husband is the Gt Grandson of Robert Graham Pears, who was Frederick's brother and was in business with Frederick in Penrith, prior to Frederick and family setting off for Australia.
I've been fascinated to read about the family over in Oz, and if I can help at all with any details of the family in the UK, I'd be more than pleased to.
regards, Elsbeth

Hello Elsbeth

Hi Oletta
I have just discovered this.
Fred and Sophia's son Frederick was my grandfather. He married in 1913 Ida Emily (possibly Ethel) McCaull. My mother, Valmai, was their third child and first daughter. She is the only one of their children still living. I don't know whether you are going forward or back, but I am happy to help if possible.
Cheers
