Frederick James BOHM 1879-1938 NSW

[billbir]

I have just discovered that the above ( part of my Family Research) enlisted in Sydney, NSW on 14 August 1914. At that time his wife Alice J L Bohm was still living back in London, England with her children. It appears that he returned back to Australia in 1916 and died in 1938 being buried at Rookwood Crematorium, NSW. It is therefore reasonable to surmise that the family must have emigrated to Australia, probably after the end of the 1914-18 war. There are no records of any of them in the UK. I would very much like to know what happened to them in Australia and whether there are any living relatives.

Any help would be much appreciated.
