Thank you so much for that information, I had tried to find him in TROVE, and had found some boxing information after the war, but I obviously hadn't put in the correct parameters to find this info. This will give me some further info to follow up on. If he is not in the phonebook I guess it means he had moved interstate, is dead, or doesn't have the phone connected.

Thanks again
David

According to the electoral rolls Frederick J T was living in Western Australia prior to enlisting in WW1.  His parents were also living in WA and his father enlisted in WW1 at Blackboy WA.

Your great grandfather's birth in SA

BURROWS Frederick John Thomas
27 Dec 1888
Father Frederick Bossingham   Mother Isabella STEEL
At Mundalla  Wel 300/434    

It looks as though Frederick and if the divorce action did proceed, his ex-wife Elsie Pauline died the same year. Info on death certs is not always accurate but the age at death is a close match for Frederick born 1888.  I cannot find a Frederick John BURROWS with father Thomas born c1887 on the Australian birth indexes.
