What happened to Benjamin Robert Henry Wragg

[maddys52]

Not sure if you have been given this information yet, Benjamin WRAGGE (ambulance officer) is on the electoral roll in Brisbane in 1921, 1925 and 1926. At the same address is Ethel May Devon WRAGGE. He is alone in 1928 and 1929, still in Brisbane at a different address.

This article says that Ethel was living with WRAGGE who she met in England c1914 (she denied she was living with him as a wife, saying that her mother and sister were also with them). Her maiden name was GOODWIN, and she married Claud COLES.

There is a Bridget Devon GOODWIN at the same address as Benjamin and Ethel WRAGGE in 1925 electoral roll.

I think Benjamin had been in Australia for a time in 1913.
There is record at the National Archives Aust where he uses  a birthdate  of  May 24 1873 to enlist in the newly formed Naval Police Force.

He met the qualifications. 
Here is an advertisement for applicants.

He lived at 302 Annandale Street Annandale with NOK given as Mrs WRAGG. His entry date was 30-6-1913 and resignation date 14-10-1914. As senior constable.

Perhaps this is the record posted above as being PMed by Carol W.

Ethel and her mother arrived in Aust in 1922 per ship Moreton Bay. to disembark Brisbane.  Ethel was surnamed Wragg and Bridget Goodwin.  The had been living in Suffolk.

Adding thoughts to the above.
In her testimonial to the court regarding the debt owed her which was given above by Maddy, Ethel states she came to Australia before the war.
Perhaps she had made a visit to England  and returned in 1922 (above) with her widowed mother.

This may or may not be correct. EDIT. Her given name is not correct. So likely incorrect

In 1911 Edith is a boarder in Lowestoft in the household of Earnest Wainwright.
She is aged 19 a laundress at the steam laundry born Framlingham

Another of the surname is there.
