[cando]

From Australian Electoral Rolls
1924
HOWE Robert  Taradale, Balcombe Road, Sandringham  Occ Civil Servant
HOWE Lily Ellen Taradale, Balcombe Road, Sandringham  Occ Home Duties

1931
HOWE Robert 93 Leopold Street, South Yarra  Occ Civil Servant

Will see what else I can find.

Oh I read the service record - it is Mrs L E HOWE  Widow and under you will see  3rd MT list and the date 1940 or 46.

May I ask where was Robert buried?

The only electoral roll entry I could find for a Frederick Arthur HOWE was in 1931 living at 217 a'Beckett Street, West Melbourne, Occupation - Labourer.

This just gets better. I really didn't think I'd have any joy with these people so am absolutely delighted with what you have found. I haven't a clue where Robert was buried - haven't downloaded the death certificate yet as I am having to control my spending at the moment - genealogy can empty a purse pretty quickly, I find.

Robert seems to have moved about quite a bit. Are the addresses on the Electral Rolls very far apart or was he moving within a small area?

The addresses are certainly some distance apart.  The suburb of Parkville is north of the city centre, South Yarra, South East and Sandringham is a beach side suburb about 20 kms south east of the city. 

Agree about genealogy can empty the purse quickly

What an interesting thread. When looking at the naa record for James Shaw Howe, there were many letters from Mrs Tulloch & one letter from a Mrs Thomas, who lived next door to Mrs Tulloch. Perhaps my romantic mind got carried away, but I was wondering if James was a boarder with Mrs Thomas & met the sister of Mrs Tulloch etc etc. I found this marriage on the Vic BDMs

Wfred Louise MADDEN born Brisbane married Jno Wm Tulloch (B Oakney Island) 1910 5309

so perhaps Mrs W Madden is Winifred - but I have searched the Queensland BDMs and cannot find a birth record for her - so cannot at the minute track the sister.

Just for you Trish -from the Electoral Rolls
1914
TULLOCH  John William  144 Heath Street, Port Melbourne  Occ Labourer 
[Perhaps Winifred was too young to vote or hadn't enrolled]

1914
THOMAS Alexander 143 Heath Street, Port Melbourne Occ Labourer 
THOMAS Louisa Elizabeth 143 Heath Street, Port Melbourne

1919
TULLOCH Winifred  144 Heath Street, Port Melbourne  Occ Labourer  [No husband enrolled at this address and no death for Jn Wm between 1914 and 1920 and no WW1 service record]
and
Birth
TULLOCH Robert
Father John Wm  Mother Winifred Louise MADDEN
Birth Place PT MELB  1915
Reg#33305

Later Electoral Rolls records for Winifred show two more enrolments for Port Melbourne and then she moved to Mitcham in 1936 - no other Tullochs with her at any of the addresses.

Now Trish what do you think?

And for Jen -
I received this response from the Melbourne General Cemetery

After a search of our records I was only able to locate Lily Ellen Howe our records show she was cremated on 03.03.1972 and her remains were scattered.
Have no record for Robert Howe

Cheers

Jenn I don't think either of the Robert HOWE's listed are this Robert HOWE.  He died in 1939 aged 47 and the two listed are

HOWE      Robert     21/05/1934  Aged 12
HOWE    Robert      14/05/1930  Aged 64

Edit I see it he is not listed  in the advanced search database.  How do they expect us to find records
