Born: Powyke, Worcestershire, England
NOK: Eberron and Sophie CASWELL (parents)
Stockton, Newcastle
Douglas’ Occupation in AUS – butcher,
N o K addresses: are for NSW Stockton Newcastle, NOT for NEWCASTLE UK. Douglas St, Stockton Newcastle NEW SOUTH WALES, clearly shown on page 1 of his AIF enlistment papers. He was 21 years, no months when he enlisted on 16 July 1915.  His place of birth is shown several times as POWYKE, WORCHESTERSHIRE ENG.
On Feb 6th 1923, his mother signed for his medal, and in earlier years for other memorials, her first name clearly Sophie, and her middle initials were M and C. His father signed for some medals too, in earlier years and on 2 Feb 1923

Douglas CASWELL

This is a fairly "rare" surname.  And I have noticed that at naa.gov.au there is a Miss Caswell listed as a confidential typist attached to the Prime Minister's office in 1936.  There is a photo even.
The link is

It may be that Miss Caswell has no connection to Douglas, but perhaps someone knows how to check that out.

Just Moi (tired, but still trying to help)

CASWELL 

1935 Electoral Roll for ACT, Australia has a Thelma Ruby CASWELL, typist at Gorman House, Braddon.  Perhaps that's the Miss Caswell in the 1936 photo, however still none the wiser if she was connected to Douglas.

FRom Ruskie on main thread

Not too sure about this as district for Powick is Upton but:

Mar Dec 1915
Nellie Caswell = John W Ball
Kidderminster
6c 205

No luck finding marriages for Margrate (Margaret?) and Ebborn but found parent's marriage:

Dec 1892
Caroline Mary S Beckel/t = Edwin Ebborn Caswell
Upton 6c 531

Mother: Sophie M C Caswell daughter of Peter (Gateshead?)
   She died 1953 aged 87 Newcastle Reg No 29366
   Douglas Street North Stockton Newcastle NSW


(Think she may have been in UK in 1953 not NSW - will check)

Mike is a long-time Caswell researcher but I haven't come across Nancy.

My lot aren't from Worcester.

ADDED: I have e-mailed Nancy.

[Paul Caswell]

Sadly, the e-mail bounced.

Has anyone got any ideas how we can track her down? She seems to have dropped out soon after 2007.
