Full Record
Hint: This site is intended as a search aid - not a definitive source. It is essentially an index to documents that seem to relate to this person plus a very brief precis of relevant elements. Sources often conflict and I also flag things with a ? when I am unsure. So if the information below is important to you, then please check the original sources to see what else they contain (and in case I have inadvertantly introduced transcription and/or precising errors). There can be additional information that was not included in the database for both space and copyright reasons.

URL6: Among the fatalities announced by cable from South Africa within the past few days [c2.1902] are those of two fine young men from the Hunter River district, and strange to state both deaths took place in the Bloemfontein Hospital from the same complaint — enteric fever — on the same day. The victims were Privates Aubrey APTHORPE of Bishop's Bridge (whose sad death has already been alluded to in our columns), and Private Isaac BEWLEY of Murrurundi, who belonged to the Third New South Wales Mounted Infantry which left this State for South Africa less than a year ago. Private BEWLEY was the son of Mr. Isaac BEWLEY of Murrurundi, brother of Mr. BEWLEY of the Railway Department, Junee, and nephew of Mrs. DAVIES of the Grand Central Hotel, West Maitland. The deceased was a native of Murrurundi, and only 22 years of age.

Apology: For some time now it has been difficult to keep up with the newly available sources (especially the Trove newspaper site) plus the flow of contributions and queries. So I have been forced to prioritise maintenance and data entry over replying to correspondence. Nevertheless, your contributions are being added to the database and acknowledged on the contributions page and, although my replies are many months behind, I will attempt to get to them more often.
