Here is my transcription of the PG 1911 p.164, 173. 

South Australia Police Gazette June 28, 1911, page 164
DESERTERS FROM MERCHANT VESSELS
From the  ss ‘BRADFORD CITY’ at PORT PIRIE on June 23rd 1911
Warrants issued for the following :-
........ 
John DONOVAN, A.B. 23 years of age, large fair moustache, a native of Ireland, dress not described.
......
......
.....
.....
A reward for £1 will be paid for the arrest of each of the above-named.  Warrants filed at Port Pirie. (C1449).
(JM notes that six sailors were named in that notice).

and then there's this notice in the South Australian Police Gazette :

Page 173,   July 5, 1911
Vide Police Gazette 1911, page 164.   Re P Sheehan, John Donovan, S Napper and William Evans, deserters from the ss Bradford City at Port Pirie on June 23rd, 1911,  The warrants for arrest of the above named have been withdrawn, the ship having sailed.  C 1449.

Sometimes my hunches actually work

For the time being at least John Donovan whether Irishman or Englishman will remain a mystery.                 Some of the reasons; married in 1895 Port Pirie S.A. but deserted the ship Bradford City in 1911, ship built 1903.

Martin,   your John DONOVAN is NOT the person who deserted the ship SS Bradford City.  The John Donovan who deserted the ship did so in June 1911.   On several of your threads you have told us that your John Donovan died in 1910, and that his daughter Vera is your late Grandmother.

At the above link others reading this thread will be able to find the index references for your John's marriage, (to Elizabeth Brooks, 1895); death in 1910 (undefined relative); and of course the birth registration in 1904 of your Grandmother, Vera.

Martin,  do you have copy of the 1910 South Australian death certificate for your John Donovan?  If so, what information is recorded there in response to the question:

 Birthplace and length of residence in Australia


ADD,  that information was requested from 1907    see

Martin,  that's the info on the index.  You need the actual certificate that the index is referencing.  It will have more info that is not on the index summary.  You may need to purchase the document.

I was told by the local history society that  the index was copied
 from the death cert which can be viewed for a small fee (they will not copy). It's held in Clare town hall.

Well yes of course the index will have details that are copied from the death certificate,  but what about the details that are on the certificate and are not on the index, particularly the details under the heading BIRTHPLACE   and HOW LONG in Australia ... the d.c. is available and I have given you the link in earlier post.

#48 has link to order that cert.
