Thanks, that's helpful.

There is correspondence from Roland to the Conrad's daughter in the possession of Clarice Anne's brother's family. There is other correspondence to the family earlier than 1912, so the mystery now is how he became acquainted with this Tasmanian family while he was still serving in India.

"There is other correspondence to the family earlier than 1912"
To what family?....from whom?

If you have information that predates the arrival of Roland Martin QUINN in Tasmania, and you are wondering why he comes to Tasmania, the substance of this correspondence might be useful.

Had you read the AAF record for the son of Henry BICKHAM named Charles Henry BICKHAM.
KIA in Belgium

You will find it on the National Archives of Aust site, the link for which you already have.

On page 40 of the digitised document, you will see that the soldier's will was entrusted to R M QUINN.

Have you previously had this connection noted?


Apologies to all......
ERROR here the person holding the will was A R QUINN.
