Hi Muss. Wet as here in Sydney, so staying close 2 unit (Darling Harbour) rather than drive on unknown roads. He worked for the Mangahao Power Station at Shannon. Ref has his name as Robert W. Stevens  1922-23. Probably due to my lack of knowledge but I couldn't backtrack him to Australia and a friend who had a go found the one Robert who left Sydney for Wellington in 1921. Ta Betty

Other than hearsay, you have nothing to truly place Robert in Australia until his shipping departure to NZ in 1921. No documented evidence.

So, as another straw for clutching, I offer this. :o

Inward passenger list to UK.

Year 1919 Ship Morvada. Shipping line, British India S. Navigt. Co.
Voyage Australia via Bombay to London
R. STEVENS
Aged 37
Schoolmaster,
Embarked Bombay. To land Plymouth
Country of last permanent residence. India
Country of intended permanent residence, Overlynch Farmhouse, Surrey.

Unfortunately sparret we think that straw is too short to hold.  :( But, and again I will be glad to get home to a computer, I'd like to give some further attention to a Robert C Stevens, married to Orellia, father of Rita. To see how far back that Robert can be traced to. Às  he could be closer to the age. Thank you so much x Betty
