Hi

Thank you all, Fred has been elusive up till now. 


Thanks Dazey for finding his death notice, I would never have thought of WA.  JM  I think Fred was a bit of a nomad by the sounds of him. Question is though when did he arrive in Australia?

A Fred YEOWART arrived 3rd Class on 17th July 1910 in Sydney on the "Persia" from London.

His calling was Naval ( I think that's what it reads)

On his WW1 record Fred had stated that he had served 1 year in the Royal Auxillary and was discharged because of time expired.  Maybe Royal Auxillary has some affiliation with the Royal Navy hence Naval as his occupation/calling on the shipping record!


Could be your Fred.

Hi Gerry


Thanks for the information on Fred.  Also found a record of Fred Yeowart being hit by a car in 1926.

http://www.rootschat.com/links/0fld/    What I find  interesting is the mention of Fred's feet  when he stated in another article that he lost his legs due to an explosion at Pozieres during WW1.

Ted Dorsett from Dazey 999's earlier post was the Publican of "His Majesty's Hotel".

Australian Electoral Rolls
1954, Fremantle.
Dorsett Edward George, His Majesty's Hotel, publican.

Edward George Dorsett also served in the 1st AIF.

Bit concerned that the 1911 census index on the FamilySearch website shows a Frederick Yeowart, age 24, b. Toxtetch, in an 'institution' in Margate, Kent.  Also...a Frederick John Yeowart, born 4 July 1886 died in 1973 in Birkenhead, Cheshire.
Do we think there were 2 Frederick Yeowarts?  1 born 1886 (Frederick John) and another born c.1895?
However, the fact that Fred is showing in the 1911 census might be due to...
Arrival 17 Jully 1910
Mr Fred Yeowart (naval)
arrived London from Aden on board the Persia, a ship belonging to the Peninsula & Orient Steam Navigation Co Ltd.  So was he a crew member?
It looks as though there were definitely 2 Fred Yeowarts from Liverpool - but where's the birth of the Fred born c.1895?   ???
