Edgar Jerome HENDERSON in WA?

[tropicalj]

I have just been totally engrossed in the digit. service history of Louis Phillip's brother [I believe!!] Numa Ferdinand. 
Apart from an insight into his life  -enlisting underage, getting found out , falsifying documents being discilpined for laziness etc. etc. we can also see a letter from the father G.
Now I live not so very far from the Kingston Street mentioned and it is a very 'good part of town'
I love the letterhead that George uses.  Tells us his profession and so on.
Intrigue!
S.

I also had a look Sue must admit I am a sucker for a digitalised record
side bar to all of this Sue have you also noticed that the men are definately taller than they were back in the Great War  most seem around 5'4" or so  not many a great deal larger

Hi Jenn,
We've both made small slip in our last posts.
I said Louis was enlisted Melb. Wrong. Enlisted Gnowangerup
You said from Gnowangerup. Wrong born Melbourne.
Wish my rellies were as interesting as Lily's
Sue

a slip of the pen knew he was born in melbourne just meant he was from there you know he's from there not necessarily born there

Also I see Joubert, Numa Ferdinand whose NOK is GEORGE ARTHUR Jourbert.   This is fully digitised now.
 So he may well be a brother of Louis. 

I think there is another Numa Ferdinand  Jourbet but older and born in noumea.  V. V. confusing. Sue

Hi all,

Re: Peter Edwin Henderson and Blond Jane Caroline LeBlon (tropicalj)
and: Peter Edwin Henderson m. Blond Leblon (sparrett)

In the interests of accuracy may I point out that Peter Edwin HENDERSON married Jeanne Louisa Caroline LE BLOND (not Blond Leblon!) who was known as Caroline. They married in Hamilton, Scotland 1848 and emigrated to Australia in 1857. Hope this is of interest.

Hi Alison,

I guess that makes you the great great grand-daughter of Peter Henderson and Caroline Le Blond. I am a great great great great grandson of Caroline's parents.

Les I would suggest that the chatters helping with the research were transcribing from the indexes and as we all know there are many spelling errors especially of the more unusual names.   The thread dates from 2006

Yes indeed Cando  that  was the case our information  is only  as good as the  information  on  the indexes  and we can only supply  the information  as stated.

This  is a very  helpfull  site  and I  think  that the original  poster of  the Question  got a lot of help.

Hopefully anyone stumbling across this old thread (as I did) will find the additional information useful.
