another brother's enlistment
Cameron David John : SERN 6003 : POB Sydney NSW : POE Townsville QLD : NOK F Cameron Thomas Graham

He was an 18 yr old electrician. (Edwin was a fitter and turner by trade).

Their other brothers were John, Andrew & James, plus another sister named Annie (assume you have info on these). Andrew & James both died young.

Margaret's maiden name was McHALE as I'm sure you already know.

Son John died in 1920 in Qld.

Good work, Valerie!

Ryerson Index has Edwin's death so would be worth requesting the death notice

CAMERON Edwin Bede Death notice 19AUG1976 Death 82 late of Mona Vale Sydney Morning Herald 21AUG1976


also his brother
CAMERON Thomas Graham Death notice 14JAN1963 Death 67 late of Bondi Sydney Morning Herald 15JAN1963

374/1963 CAMERON THOMAS GRAHAM [father] THOMAS GRAHAM [mother] MARGARET SYDNEY

and his mother??
CAMERON Margaret Death notice 01NOV1968 Death 95 late of Bondi
Sydney Morning Herald 02NOV1968


Possible death for his father in rural Qld (given his Townsville address)

1929/C757
Thomas Graham Cameron
[father] Thomas Graham Cameron
[mother] Catherine Quinn

Hi Robert

The NSW/BMD (on-line) shows an Edward B Cameron married Ada F Campbell 1923. (note spelling 'Edward')

Also has ...Edwin Bede Cameron d 1976 (reg.no 20597/1976 (parents Thomas Graham & Margaret).

The 'National Archives of Aus' (on-line) shows Edwin Bede Cameron b Sydney 12/4/1894 enlisted 1914 in Brisbane ....father's address (Thomas Graham Cameron) in Townsville. (Edwin's army records are on-line).

A 'transcription' (cost approx $19) of Edwin's d cert should reveal names & ages of all his off-spring. (hopefully a 'middle' name for your Robert)

The 'NSW State Library' and 'QLD State Library' have an 'Ask a Librarian' service ... they will check the electoral rolls (past & present) ...though probably not just for a 'Robert Cameron' (possibly too many of them).

Re Ada F Cameron ... there are a few possible deaths for 'Ada' ..... (NSW/BMD) (parents' names would help) and on 'Ryerson's Index ....but a 'middle' name would certainly help (need more than an 'F'). (Edwin's d cert should have it).

Could you put NSW or Australia in your heading, so that people with knowledge of Australia can see and help you?
Thanks

I am looking for descendants of my uncle Bede Cameron. He was a marine engineer. married an Ada Campbell and had a son Robert. They lived on Pittwater Rd Mona Vale Sydney NSW. Bede was cremated at the Northern Suburbs Crematorium in 1976. My mother ,Dorothy, was his sister. The son was born,I think, in 1925.

Any info would be helpful
