Looking for any info on a Robert Cotter residing at Ascot Street (Dulwich?) Adelaide in 1915, these details given on his sons(Frank Cotter)  attestation paper Australian Imperial force.
Thank you

I suggest you read the entire file as it appears he was not Frank COTTER but using an alias. Also named his father as Herbert later in the file.  A statutory declaration states his name is George Firth GRAHAM aka Frank COTTER.  So why seek information about a Robert COTTER who probably didn't exist when George aka Frank's father was Robert Firth GRAHAM who lived at Dulwich.

Robert/Frank had many siblings and you can find them on SA Genealogy

Directories do not detail all the members of a household.
There is no Ascot Street, Dulwich only an Ascot Avenue.  And this was possibly the address of his father taking into account its location near the old Glenside Hospital formerly Parkside Asylum.

Thank you Cando - was it a frequent occurrence for a person to enlist under one name & then have a completely different name?  On the record I saw it gave his father as Robert Cotter so this was why I posted my request.

Perhaps you could post the link where you saw the record.  It suggests to me that someone has transcribed his first attestation paper without reading the rest of the file.

It is always useful to link any previous threads about your Robert COTTER in Australia.
