Addit. Therefore I am great grand daughter of Frank Hamilton Philip and Hallem (ellen) Davies too. His son Frank Hamilton brother to George et al. served in ww1 in France, was gassed. Grandad born in Leederville 1898 moved to Kalgoorlie as boy. Went to war at 16. His father Frank Hamilton Philip enlisted but discharged due to filthy habits dischargded.For those in Perth. Frank Hamilton Davies son of FhpDavies then married and lived in Mosman Park and there is a copper plaque on a remembrance wall overlooking the Mosman Bay river with all the original settlers of Mospark. The Davies plaque is on the wall with all the names of that family. As a point of interest Fhp Davies was as we know a railway worker as was fhdavies. fhpDavies was not right of mind as we see, but also he had suffered head injury.....trying to locate documentation for this, but had always been told work related. There was a terrible mix up of war veteran documents due to the names, we untangled them. Thats another story. Basically Fhp Davies never served , never went to war, ended up in Victoria, then returned to Perth, was in Sunset old mans home,died in Claremont Hospital, now Graylands. Hope this helps. Ok, more, Hallem (ellen) left Kal and went to Victoria and was housekeeper to clerygyman, I think A Bishop. Family alive at the time very tight lipped about ancestry. I have advised my uncle Hal to seek freedom information to view Fhp Davies medical records, maybe Battie Library, its a start?
