SloopJB Posted 1 September , 2011 Share Posted 1 September , 2011 Hello, I am trying to research three brothers who emigrated to Australia between 1901 and first world war. I have not been able to trace them in the 1911 census as yet. Fathers name was Joseph Jarrett approx. 26 in 1891. Sons aged 14 George, 13 Charles, 11 William and 8 Frank in 1901. At least three sons are believed to have served in WW1 with the Australian forces. A picture of Charles W Jarrett in Australian Mounted Uniform survives. Any help, information or advice appreciated.

SloopJB Posted 2 September , 2011 Author Share Posted 2 September , 2011 Ian, Thanks for the link. I found a William Jarrett joining the infantry in 1914 so that is a good start. Not sure that they would be mounted? Any further information from any quarter would be very much appreciated. Cheers Sloop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGM Posted 2 September , 2011 Share Posted 2 September , 2011 Hi, Can you add any more information? Which part of the UK the family lived in.....the mother's name ...any little thing might help. I have looked at the 73 Jarrett's serving in the AIF and picked out those born in England, and looked at Jarrett's leaving England for Australia and I have found one family but they are all older than the family you are looking for. Edited to say - the ages and other facts don't all fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGM Posted 2 September , 2011 Share Posted 2 September , 2011 Hi, In the 1911 census Joseph (a widower in 1901) had been married to Alice for 9 years. William (aged 21) and Frank (aged 18) are still living with him. There are also 3 stepdaughters. I think George is married and living in Abertillery and working as a Colliery haulier underground. This is not proven but I suspect the Charles Jarrett boarding in Devon is the remaining brother. A Bristol family. Edit - having looked at the 1891 census I am more confident that this Charles is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGM Posted 2 September , 2011 Share Posted 2 September , 2011 Can you scan the photograph? It might help. (I still can't find a match to any of these brothers in the AIF records.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waddell Posted 6 September , 2011 Share Posted 6 September , 2011 Sloop, I'm going to be the devil's advocate here and say that your ancestor served in the British army. The slouch hat was also worn by British soldiers during the Boer war and several years after, not just Australians. The belt pattern and buckle also look to be of the Slade Wallace type and if you could read the inscription on the buckle it would help a great deal. My impression is that the photo is from the 1900-1910 era. Just my thoughts! Scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
