Frank Hobden WORLD

[Eupham]

Hi All,

I'm trying to find any information on Frank Hobden WORLD I can.

He was born around 1858 in Hampshire England (i think). He died in 1905 in Melbourne Australia.

He married an Alice McCARTHY in Australia (i think).

Any information that people can pass on would be greatly appreciate.

1881 England Census has a Frank. H. World, married, 25, born in Southsea, Hants, as a Wardroom Steward on board the HMS Carysfort anchored at Simon's Bay Cape of Good Hope.

So looks like Frank was in the RN as a Wardroom Steward on the HMS Carysfort, maybe he got off in Melbourne and stayed.

Note, married.
