'The missing' Stephen Feening

[rosball]

Thanks JM    I thought my long shot had missed the target

The Electoral Roll for NSW in 1913 shows
FEENING, Stephen.
Dudley Street Roseville. Carter.

So, if this is him, he had not headed to America yet.

Sue

Adding Is this address still in existence?

[rosball]

Good find Sue

There is a Dudley Avenue in Roseville - it comes off Archbold Road.

Ros

adding : near Clanville Rd

We need to ask for assistance on the US board.
I do not have access to US passenger arrivals.

If he was happily using his own name on the E Roll in 1913, then he may well have departed Australia in his own name, or appeared on a US census in his own name.

There will be hardcopy of Electoral rolls at NSW state library for each time there was an election 1913 right through the 1920s.  I dont know when I will next be in Sydney so I cannot look up GORDON electorate to see if he remained there during WWI ... two referendum votes required rolls to be issued at federal level and it was compulsory to vote in those refendums.

Add ... votes were on conscription and 1916/1917.

ADD, Sands directories were likely 'standard issue' for NSW police in that era.

A Question : when did the suggestion he was in America first get raised ...  


JM

Hi JM,

The American hint we have is his mother's obituary. I'll post a pic. Not rock solid, I know, but it was something when we had nothing...

Sel

Adding: This was in July 1919

Wow!! Great work Sue!!

Very short walk from Roseville to Willoughby ...  especially as there's mention of several siblings at Willoughby.
