Look what I just found
My grandfather's WW1 diary/notebook contains a number of little lists, and one such entry had the name Carne in it. So, looking through the National Archives of Australia records for 1914-1919 I came across this amongst 48 mentions of the Carne name in that period:
JENKIN, Philip Carne : Service Number - 5475 : Place of Birth - Redruth England : Place of Enlistment - Prahran VIC : Next of Kin - (Mother) JENKIN Mary
In his service records, digitised, mother's address given as:
Mary Sarah JENKIN
"The Firs"
Scorrier
Cornwall
When he joined up on 1 April 1916, he was 24 years and 4 months old, so was born about New Year, 1892. He had an eventful war, wounded and gassed, but survived and returned to Australia in 1919. He was still alive in 1924. With a name like that, he has to be connected somehow.
