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

On the Electoral Roll, 1913, William FEENING is also a carter. He enlisted after this.

I do most seriously suspect that family knew Stephen's whereabouts all along.

Hi Sue,

Would you mind sending me a pic/link of the electoral roll for Stephen and William? I looked online but can't for the life of me find them (I am new at all this however so it could be right in front of me)...

I agree, I feel his family knew where he was all along or at least shortly after he disappeared.

I wonder if Selina herself ever found out? It appears she knew nothing when she filed for divorce years later but maybe in the years following that??

Yes,  and re the obit 1919 ... so while exact localities given for all the children and her siblings ... Stephen is "America" ... not even a state if USA and no mention of a country .... two continents for "America".

He may have remained in NSW,  working and moving between various family members.  Old Age Pension at 65 may have triggered some minor paper trail, but he may have become known by different surname ... variation on Feening perhaps... as it is not until 1990s that strict ID practices were introduced in Australian states - Quintex scandal and the late Christopher Skates etc.

They are sourced from Findmypast.
Ancestry does not appear to have them.
There is nothing more to see than what I have given.

Ancestry has the NSW 1913 ER.   -  :)

 :)

Using a name from the Sands posting for Dudley St Roseville

NSW ER 1913, GORDON, polling at Roseville
John CANTOR, Dudley Street, salesman. 

Actually, the first surname listed for the 1913 ER polling at Roseville is for four people with surname ABBOTT all in Dudley Street.

I wonder if when Ancestry uploaded the ER for Roseville 1913, err perhaps they have missed INDEXING it  :-X    I found Cantor the 'long way' ... I searched for SMITH, Gordon NSW and restricted it to EXACT 1913.  Then I fiddled with the polling place option and let fingers do the walking etc...

ADD,  I have 1913 on two CDs  ::) sorry for not considering checking there earlier.

Yes, I know ,but what I am saying is that Ancestry does not have the entries for Stephen FEENING or William FEENING .
Perhaps they are there somewhere, but not in the correct spelling.
