Worth checking obituaries on https://funeral-notices.co.uk/ have occasionally found some gems of information.

Thank you Sue
It's a strong possibility as the info that PatLac supplied shows that he was in the hospitality sector, he certainly seems to have moved around a lot.
His estate was divided between his siblings and their children so it would seem that he never married.

Thank you PatLac,
That makes interesting reading.
I have inherited a letter that was sent to his niece regarding the distribution of his estate and what each recipient received.
The estate consisted of money in his bank account, proceeds from the sale of his effects and wages due ex Sturt Creek Station.
Thanks again

Hello everyone
Rose Ellis b 1888 departed 10/5/1927 London for Adelaide on board Largs Bay.
She married in 1931 and I have all details from that time onwards.
She had a brother Thomas Walker Ellis who emigrated to Australia in 1912, he was born 1887 and died in 1956 (registration district Kimberley Goldfields, Western Australia), haven't been able to trace him between 1912 and 1956.
If I've got the right person, Thomas travelled on the Narrung and is listed as Thomas W Ellis a farmhand
Any help is much appreciated.

Australia / UK to Australia 1927

A great aunt emigrated to Adelaide in 1927 at the age 38, the ship's passenger list gives her occupation as a waitress.
Is it likely that she already had an offer of a job or would she have had to find a job on arrival. Unfortunately the passenger list does not state with whom or where she was going to stay.

Hi Melanie, I've replied to your message.
For anyone else that are interested, John was the son of Sydney's wife from her first marriage, though he later took the surname Ellis.
Thank you to anyone that has helped previously.
