Hi, I am trying to find any information on Colin Harrower born 1895. He emigrated to Melbourne from London in 1913.
His father was John Harrower b1870 and his mother was Marion Shields b1874.
Siblings: William b 1897, Isabella b1900 and Netty.
I have looked at the australian gov website and found that in 1920 he applied to visit the uk. Also found a call up request for Ronald Trevor Harrower in 1920 who states next of kin is Colin Harrower but this may a different person altogether.
Any information you have on Colin would be great.
Thank you
Wendy ne Harrower

******************************************
There could be other children born to Colin and Minnie HARROWER.?....but unfortunatley i can only access births up to 1921 for Victoria.
However.......If you obtain the Death cert of Colin HARROWER it should give you any surviving or deceased childrens names and their ages at Colins time of death, and written on his death certificate....and also this applys to Minnie ( Mary ) Harrowers death cert as well. This is standard practice on most death certs for Australia...and information on death certs for Australia are normally very informative.
