And the deaths of 2 Fred. W/Louisa A children, Louie and Marjorie L also

Just gotta find find Frederick...!

Hi Sharleen

Does the name DETTMANN come up at all, in any of the documents/photo's you've gathered? I ask because:

NSW BMDs
Death in Sydney, 1933 of a Dorothy G DETTMANN, her parents: Frederick W and Louisa A.
Marriage 1917 of a Dorothy G HUDSON to a Garnet R DETTMANN in Mosman, NSW

in NAA:
WW1 record for a Garnet Roy  DETTMANN
WW2 record of a John Frederick DETTMANN born Longueville NSW, Next of Kin: Audrey DETTMANN.
WW2 record of an Elizabeth Beryl DETTMAN born 1920 Longueville NSW, Next of Kin: Garnet R DETTMANN

thinking, if  Frederick & Louisa are Frederick jnr.s parents, then Dorothy whose birth is there on the BMD's was one of the sisters you'd heard tale of  and maybe tracking her may lead to something on Fred Snr.....

This may be cart before horse, but just thought I'd chuck the name into the pot, as it's rather distinctive!

Cheers
Anne

Maybe just maybe, the webmaster has something, anything, more on Louisa's husband.......like the full details off the marriage record?

If this is Frederick William HUDSON Snr and maybe it's not, but if it is,  it gives some indication of his arrival time-frame in SA.....?
