Mary BOYD 1882 - 1961?

[rosball]

Yes definitely the son (Frank jun) - he was aged 20 when he was MIA.  He was in the Scots College cadets but then trained as a pilot and was the pilot of a crew that disappeared without trace. 

His birthdate was 28 May 1921 in Sydney NSW and his NOK was Frank Richardson and he enlisted Sydney.

(well worth reading the digitised records - have a box of tissues handy.  The family including sister Treasure and father Frank wrote repeatedly (desperately!)  to get more (ANY) information but there was nothing to be found)

After all this we have not helped with the immigration record you were seeking.

But it seems that despite the feud which took place in 1910 between the brothers. Frank went on to marry MARY BOYD, his sister-in-law’s sister a couple of years later .

Hi Mark
Mary emigrated in 1908. I am a dependant of Isabella and Wilson Richardson. I have lovely photos of them and their children in Waverley (now Queens Park). Wilson was my great great grandfather. It was so interesting to read about the falling out Wilson and Frank had as I never knew about this.
