Frederick John Wharton , died about / after 1920 ,

[frederickay]

I am helping a fellow Wharton member try to find John Frederick Wharton born Redying Yorkshire 1893 to Thomas Wharton and Teresa Lawlor . Most of his siblings went to the states or Canada but it is believed he died in either Australia or New Zealand about 1920 . It would be great if we can find him . I know the siblings names but nothing else other than the family had long time ties to Denton Yorkshire . TIA , Fred.

He was John Frederick according to his birth registration, your heading gives the names the other way round

WHARTON, JOHN  FREDERICK     mmn LAWLOR 
1893  Sept Quarter in WHARFEDALE  Volume 09A  Page 154

Where do you have him and his parents in 1901 / 1911

Hi yes. Will change heading if I can , he was known to the family as Frederick . He was with his family in Scotland 1910. - 11 but they lost contact with him when they went to Canada . It is just thought he might have gone to Australia or New Zealand .I will try and find out more from contact .  Thanks Fred .

There is a short service attestation for John Frederick Wharton, 21 Tyne St, Cardiff.
next of Kin Father Thomas of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

Then the address was changed to one in Alberta.

He was discharged in 1916 no fixed abode. Can’t read reason for discharge.

A tree on Ancestry has the details as -

BIRTH JUL 1893 • Ben Rhydding, Yorkshire, England
DEATH AFT 1920 • poss emigrates to Australia or New Zealand (not sure)

note that it suggests a death after 1920, not about 1920
