The whole family seems stuck on the letter "A" for first names John seems a bit of an exception

I think there could be more children to Frederick than I have down, but my puter is mucking me around and I gave up. Perhaps Ros could have a look?

On naa.gov.au there is a service  record for John Felix Bull born Newcastle who served in WW1

http://recordsearch.naa.gov.au

He was a bootmaker and apprenticed to his father Frederick Bull a bootmaker in Newcastle.

adding : can read the 112(!) page digitised record

[rosball]

From digitised record he changes his NOK from his father Frederick to his wife Mary Helen Bull at an address in London

Lots of info here - takes some reading ...

John Felix Bull died 17 10 1919.  How very sad,

Summary http://www.aif.adfa.edu.au/showPerson?pid=38409

I'm having doubts now whether I have the correct John F Bull especially after looking at the summary,

 Back to reading the record ...

It has marriage cert extract  included (page 27) to Mary Helen Hampton.  Here it says his father is Frederick Henry Bull (deceased), coal trimmer and that he (John) is a hair dresser.  15-10-1917

Letter from sister Mrs H Waterhouse ?? (page 28)
