G'day All, I am trying to find out about the gentleman above and I am hoping someone could point me in the right direction as where to look for master mariners. According to his wife's obit in 1906 he had already passed away. Cheers Lyn VIC

Hi Bill, The Attestation forms seem to relate to AIF service, the later being required for a possible mobilization. Like you, I can only note an inconsistent DOB.

In regard to some differences in the date of birth, I had a neighbour whose age was always a year younger than true.  It must have been from childhood and it was only picked up in his latter years when he had to  get his birth certificate when he applied for a pension!! Many of Booker's life events wouldn't have needed a birth certificate; it is only in more recent years this has become necessary.

Hi Chris I can't explain the varying years of birth, as he was around 25 years of age in either case, so hardly needing to put his age up in order to enlist. Maybe he had been in the habit of giving a year earlier DOB in earlier life and old habits just came to the fore again. Two attestation forms was fairly common where the soldier first enlisted in the AMF or militia, then transferred to the AIF. Was this the case here?

To add to the mix, I found his army record ref https://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/DetailsReports/ItemDetail.aspx?Barcode=6095912&isAv=N and it is an open file with quite a bit of information. Curiously there are 2 attestation forms- one dated 20/2/1942 which gives DOB as 3/6/1917 born Launceston,.married with 2 children. The second one was dated 16/12/1942 with DOB one year earlier ie 3/6/1916, born Launceston, married. He went AWL several times, deserted in Dubbo and was brought before a Court Martial-discharged from the army and apparently sent to prison for 2 years. On one attestation form he admitted to a conviction in South Melbourne, Vic for petty larceny. His court Martial file is closed and there is no Repat file.

Let’s also hope that ‘Archives Tasmania’ also finds prominence in its own right on signage and web page....

Anyone who has been using the 'new' TAHO search facility ... the one that works like the Names Index, if you have any feedback or suggestions, please send them into https://libraries.tas.gov.au/about-us/Pages/feedback.aspx I know they are still looking at suggestions on this. Ps no more 'LINC' - now Libraries Tasmania, which I think is a great move.

Meryl, that is why I like this list especially. All are extremely helpful and go that bit extra. If not for this list I would still be stuck in the past :-) Cheers Lyn VIC

A very curious affair. Lola is interesting as well as I have her marrying Raymond Howland with a daughter born 1939. Another tree on Ancestry has her married to someone else. As she is only a leaf on the family tree I am researching sl I haven't studied that line at all.
