• He immigrated in December 1927. He immigrated to Australia as a NEW CHUM (according to a brother-in-law. At this time Australia had an encouraged Immigration Scheme. The scheme was designed to attract young English youths and farmers to fill Australia's empty spaces. They were given assisted passage. Unfortunately, the jobs and land promised by the scheme didn't always meet expectation. The term NEW CHUM was given to these immigrants and assisted youths).
  He had been working as a apprentice moulder from 19th April 1923 in England. He had several references written for him at the end of 1927, one being dated the 12th November 1927 from his boss.
