Looking for Robert

[Pennyrosina]

I am trying to find out about Robert Cable Barge, born Wandsworth 1859, who went to Sydney in 1879 and was a witness at the marriage of my great grandparents John Barge and Charlotte Millett.   Robert died in Australia in 1913.  His brother Fred was in Wandsworth prison in 1891.  Does anyone know anything about either brother???

Having a browse on the NSW BDM's I noticed these two marriages.  No way of knowing if it is you Robert Cable BARGE...unless you know of any additional names.

There are no births to these couples to 1907.

His name does not appear in the Australian Electoral Rolls 1900-1936.

If you were to purchase a transcription of Robert's death registration you may find out more about him ie if he married etc.

Cando,

Many thanks for this info!  I'm pleased to think Robert may well have settled down and had a family in Oz.  His brother was in prison in the UK in 1891....
