He was only in Canada en route to Australia. He was heading to Vancouver to catch the SS Niagara which was sailing Nov 19 1924.

He gives his nok in England as his sister Miss Cousins of Baugh Farm, Bristol.

So, he must have come back to England if he married 1935?

Thanks Shirley, that is him as the family lived at Baugh Farm. Looks like he went to Canada before he went to Aus., could explain him missing from photo album around that time.
Thanks brummiejan, had no idea that Bea remarried. My Grandma never talked about her family, I only found records of her older sister Eva last year!!
Adeline this other marriage could be right, as I have said this family seems to have plenty to uncover.
Thanks to all for the help :-)

* AUSTRALIAN RESEARCH TIPS *

where there is very useful information.

I have just been looking through my Grandmas photo album and discover that she had a younger brother who emigrated to Australia.
I have googled him but no luck there.
He was Ronald A Cousins born 1895 and lived in Stapleton Bristol. He married Beatrice H M Rhodes in 1935 in Devonport.
After that he disappears apart from a photo of him sent to my Grandma from Australia after his death.
I have no dates of emigration or death and no details as to where he lived in Aus.
Help where do I start to find any further details, :-)
