Looking for details of Thomas EASTHOPE

[Westby]

Trying to track down details for Thomas Wilmot Easthope:

B: July 1865, Lambeth Surry
Father:  Frank Wilmot Homer Easthope  Mother: Sarah Easthope (Becks)
Married Martha Ann Cushing Brodie 11 Dec 1894 Dum Dum, Bengal India (military marriage) so must have been serving in India.

I don't have anything concrete after that, although I'm pretty sure he's one of the Thomas Easthopes that appears in various electoral lists living in Lithgow NSW.  I can't figure out when he arrived.  He may have married again. 

If anyone is researching this family an can offer some insight, it would be much appreciated.

By 1937 the electoral roll is showing the listing of THOMAS WILMOTTT EASTHOPE Junior

So we can assume I think, that he was the groom in one or more of the marriages above.

A closer look at the Roll may sort it out.

These two burials from the LITHGOW CEMETERY show THOMAS and BERTHA together

So the 1947 marriage would seem to be your man. Unless.....

EASTHOPE Bertha 9/01/1956
Location Lithgow Anglican Anglican 2 3B 49

EASTHOPE Thomas W 25/12/1953
Location  Lithgow Anglican Anglican 2 3B 49

Thos Wilmot Easthope TIMMS born 1916 to Bertha TIMMS
FLEMINGTON VIC
Reg. Number: 3438
He was the Thomas jun who married Daisy in 1939, and served in WW2.
http://www.awm.gov.au/research/people/nominal_rolls/
Daisy died 1947 reg # 4624/1947 (as did a stillborn child)   so I think the marriage in 1949 was Thomas jun.

Bertha Agness TIMMS was obviously the wife of Thomas sen. and died at Lithgow 1956.
reg # 713/1956

Interesting to speculate on the reasons for the marriage to BERTHA being much later in THOMAS Snr's life.
