From Trove (Free online Australia newspapers)

He is charged with vagrancy 24 June 1905 aged about 75 and asked to go to another Benevolent Asylum as he had been at Ballarat and Geelong.

From Ancestry.com.au
1875-76 admitted Liverpool Asylum NSW age 72/73 Vagrancy occupation ? Blacksmith
1900 Charged Newcastle NSW Exposing his person - Not Guilty

You can find patient records for each asylum on https://prov.vic.gov.au/explore-collection/explore-topic/health-and-welfare/mental-health-records-1849-1912
But its a long haul through the different asylums!

I can't find a death for him as yet and if he died in an asylum it would have been registered
 re Immigration  there is a convict record for a William Brent arrived 1831, estimated birth 1807. Might be worth checking out.

If Mary Margaret Gleeson (mother) born 1830 and Alfred Hughes born 1843,(as you state) that seems to be incorrect and makes her 30 years younger than husband Richard and only 13 when she had Alfred!

The Common Room / Wills
« on: Tuesday 02 April 24 11:32 BST (UK)  »
Am not sure if this is the correct board but here goes!
I have a will dated 1830 in which the deceased leaves income from property to his wife, 3 daughters  (possibly unmarried) and eldest son. The eldest son is also an executor.
The youngest son, born 1819,from whom we are descended, is not mentioned at all.

Can anyone explain if this was a common occurence or deliberate for some reason.

Many thanks

It is possible to search the electoral rolls for Boulder online thru Ancestry.com.au. but you need to know his exact address to get the correct division as they are not indexed. I've done a few no success so will keep going.

From Trove.nla.gov.au  WA newspapers, the following references to Bert Truslove:

10 July 1952  Floral tributes to funeral at Keendenup from Bert and Ruby Truslove and family
April1953 Oct 1953 Mt Barker   ditto floral tributes                  ditto

So who is Ruby?

Apologies: Ruby Truslove d 2006 Memorial says wife of HERBERT. So no connection?

briankaess in his original request was looking for the American John Edward Major.

Wondering why he was mentioned in the SMH?
