Frederick William Eccles Alcock

[greatGrandson]

I am trying to find out what happened to my great uncle Frederick William Eccles Alcock who emigrated from England to Australia.

He was born in Cheadle, Staffordshire, England in 1889, son of John and Alberta Alcock. By the time his father John died in 1926, he was definitely in Australia.

I found the following records that I think are related to Frederick:

In 1914 Frederick and Alice are in Numurkah near Echuca in Victoria.
Fred is a coachpainter.
By 1930 they are in Kogarah in NSW, and in 1936 they are at 82 Foucart st, Roselle, NSW. Frederick is still a coach painter.

I think Frederick married before he came out here. I can't find his marriage in NSW or Victoria, and I notice a Mrs A Alcock came out with a female infant to Melbourne in 1913. There's also a possible marriage on FreeBMD in 1911 in the district of Wolverhampton for a Frederick W E Alcock and an Alice Leighton. And there’s a birth in Wolverhampton of an Ethel A Alcock, mother’s name Leighton, in the March Quarter of 1912. 6b/1135

It was quite commonplace for husbands to migrate first and find somewhere to live before the wife followed.
