South Australia lookup please.
« on: Friday 31 July 09 07:51 BST (UK) »
Hi all,
I'm looking for any marriage or death details on GEORGE NEWTWIG.
He was born in Sweden, emigrated here at some stage and enlisted in WW1 on 26/1/1916 at Adelaide SA.
I've accessed his war records - but would like to know if he got married and when he died. As he enlisted in SA, I'm assuming that's where he lived.

There is also  this rather sad reference to a George Newtwig and his wife and son along with two other fisherman drowning in 1937

under Fishing the article is.

Something amiss here......Florence Gertrude's death was in 1943 and the H indicates she died in a hospital or place of care. 
 
This is the linked item

The People's weekly served the largest of the Yorke Peninsula towns (Moonta) for almost 80 years.

In 1937 the Lilly May, the boat of fisherman George Newtwig disappeared. On board were both Newtwig and his wife, together with their young son and two other fishermen. All were later found to have drowned (31 July 1937, p. 2).

Wonder of our judb is able to access this edition of The People's Weekly at NLA?

http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~dicummings/BeagleholeWH-Obituaries.htm
People's Weekly, 4th December 1943. OBITUARY MR JOHN BEAGLEHOLE jnr.
referes to his daughter also dying that year.

So  the  newspaper report of 1937  is indeed very odd.

The snippet has been taken from the original newspaper report and not accurately transcribed.  Only explanation I can think of.

Hello  there Cando,
no sign of a death for a young Newtwig?
