Yes that looks like them thanks, I knew about William.  I thought thomas would have made himself older for the navy as Robert did the same.

Hi Ros,

That death was probably this birth:

Births June quarter  1891
Thomas Henry Sobey   Tynemouth  10b   279

Showing on 1939 with an Edith  A Sobey born 1895.




his brother robert got married in Northumberland so there could be a connection but like you say could equally be this thomas.

I can't see any mention of him in Australia, Gwen.

There is a death of a Thomas H SOBEY in 1957 aged 65 in Northumberland, UK on https://www.freebmd.org.uk/  There are no other details given so it is difficult to tell if it is him.

Hopefully some UK experts will be along soon to tell us more.

For info.

The 1891 birth entry from GRO indexes gives the above Thomas Henry Sobey'
mother's maiden name  SIMPSON

he seemed to be on a vessel called the sweethome in 1911 census

Apparently after WW1 he left to go to Australia but was never heard from again.

Thomas' pob is given as Donegal - it's possible that this is his birth entry

Hi my grandfather was Harry Sobey born 1902 in Haverford west. His mother was matilda marion sobey formerly webber father was william john joseph. Harry married Beatrice louisa sobey(formerly Henley) & was also born 1902 they had 4 girls my mother Barbara, Doris(eldest) Thelma & Margaret(died age 4) Beatrice & her daughters went to the workhouse and harry was only in touch again when he attended  margarets funeral. They never saw him again. When my mother was old enough she had heard he had moved to london & went to see him her visit wasnt a happy one he was living with  a woman at the time. She never saw him again after that. He died 11th June 1981 in Redbridge london. I hope this helps in some way. So your Robert Sobey was my grandfathers brother
