Cando …. Have got Death Certificate for John Serjeantson BRAITHWAITE. Died 21/9/1932. Occupation Hotel Keeper.
Aged 67 Years ( ie born 1865). Father – John Henry BRAITHWAITE, occupation ship’s chandler. Mother maiden name Serjeantson.
Born Cheshire, England, been 10 years in Victoria and 11 years in Tasmania. (no mention of West Australia)
Married at age 29 years ( ie 1894) in Southern Cross, Western Australia to Phoebe Josephine BAKER (deceased).
Children Raymond (deceased) and Dorothy (30 years).
So from this moved from Tasmania to Victoria in 1921, and to Tasmania in 1911.
Still doesn’t help where and when he came to Australia, although you say he was a boarder at Farnham Grammar school in 1881.
So, assume he came to Australia between 1881 and 1894 (when married in West Australia.
