thanks Cando !
thats a different lead - now i have no time line :( 

I know he was receiving money from his brother during ww1 - so he could have gone anytime from 1920 ..... and with only one other male on the farm , im only assuming that he stayed until his brother returned.

Who was George receiving money from during WW1?

I think you have confused the brothers.

Albert was receiving money from Lindsay.

Perhaps George was well gone before WW1....have you checked to see if he enlisted in the Boer War?

George Snr appears to have left the family as Lindsay has his mother as NOK.

Of course you have personal knowledge of the BARRETT's at Frances and Bordertown however I note that when Albert died in a shooting accident in 1933 he was farming his land alone.
