A brother

Albert  Oswald TOMKIES

Parents Thomas TOMKIES

This man also used the surname OSWALD
His death

Age 68

I think Morwinna GREGORY had a number of relationships.
These boys were born after her estrangement from TOMKIES who was charged with desertion in 1884

William's use of several names is because of his mother's various marriages / relationships rather than use of alias for purposes of.....?

Thanks people for that information I have that I just can’t seem to find he’s death I have tried all the alias’s but the new VIc BDM parameters won’t let me search with just mum or dads name

So all I can add is NSW Electoral roll on ancestry.com.au:

William Dent Oswald 1931-35 occupation cook and Mary Ann Elizabeth Oswald h/d both living at 178 Forbes St, Darlinghurst NSW. After that the records are for Wm Oswald who may not be him.

Can't help you with a death in NSW up to 1985.

Information about his parents and siblings is useful to know.....in the hope that there might be mention of your William in later events in their lives eg. death / funeral notices.

Elizabeth Morwinna STOKES dies 11 Dec 1923 (In Mem 1924) ...five daughters named.

When does Robert Dent OSWALD, born 1909,  marry. How does he name his father on marriage certificate......deceased?

Where do you see the son, born 1909, with name Robert Dent Oswald Tomkies?
