William G. W. Hearn (1886) born Northam, Devon, England
« on: Sunday 24 March 19 13:04 GMT (UK) »
The above, is seen returning from Australia in 1923, but I cannot find a journey out.  He married when he returned, and then I believe he returned to Australia but again, have no evidence of this.  Any help from across the pond would be much appreciated.

Which censuses have you found him in, in England, to see if it helps with dates?

Thanks all, I believe he was a pianoforte person.  I am pretty certain he died in Australia, so I am assuming that there is possibly a death record there.  G stands for George btw, and the W, I believe is Wills.  Its a little unclear, a couple of versions on the W.

Thank you Rose.  Was there possibly a Mary travelling with him.  He married a Mary Smale, a little before this.

When he returned in 1925 as W G H Hearn he was described as a Farmer - that was the record with the Northam address

Which record are you expecting his wife to be with him on
