Notes
- Tom is said to have left a bit of money in his will. The money was used by Nellie to take her family out to Australia. It has been suggested by Edwin Harris that she pulled a bit of a fast one and perhaps was not entitled to take the money.
The General Register shows a Thomas Woollett born in June quarter 1897 ref: W.Ham 4a 256.
His birth was registered on June 4th 1897 in West Ham, sub district East Ham. A copy was obtained from the Register Office in West Ham (Newnham).
See Commonwealth War Graves Commission web site. He was in the Australian Infantry and died Saturday 12th August 1918. I have not heard it said that he had emigrated to Australia but given that he enlisted in the Australian Infantry this does seem likely.
