Following up on Ros' sighting... and Muss' post too...

NSW Police Gazette 13 June 1923 page 313
Parkes
A warrant has been issued ……
Offender is 25 years of age, 5 feet 10 ˝ inches high, dark complexion, brown hair and eyes, usually dressed in khaki trousers, military tunic and a wide-rimmed brown felt hat;  may have one hand bandaged; an Englishman.   Identical with discharged prisoner Robert Stevens alias Robert Wilson (vide Police Gazette 1922, page 347)   

NSW Police Gazette 1922 (21 June) page 347 includes the following detail about Robert Stevens under “Native Place” INDIA.

And, an occupation  :)  Architect. and born 1897

NSW Police Gazette 30 Jan 1924 pg 62

If this is the elusive Robert Stevens, then perhaps he was NOT in New Zealand in 1922-1923, and instead was in Bathurst Goal.  :)

Here are two different links to that NSW Archives Index of Gaol photographs.
https://www.records.nsw.gov.au/archives/collections-and-research/guides-and-indexes/gaol-inmates-prisoners-photos-index
and
http://indexes.records.nsw.gov.au/searchform.aspx?id=22

Long Bay photo is #18506
Bathurst photo is #2688.

The NSW Police Gazette 30 Jan 1924, page 62 notes the remission to the 12 month sentence at Bathurst.  It noted he was released on License.

We'll, now. That's a turnup for the books! Great hunting, Muss.
Stuff is packed for travel home, but does that date coincide with the date finished work in NZ? Ta Betty

Hi

  I posted the information on Robert Stevens alias to Robert Wilson to show that there was person by the name of Robert Stevens born in India.  Only person by that name   in Australia born in the correct time frame  we have found so far. 
 Did the work records have a letter head or just hand written  ?
