NotesRoderick (Rod) arrived in Western Australia as part of the Christian Brothers scheme. No marriage found.
Rod was born in Jersey in 1931 and died in Perth on 6 May 2001. Due to his parent’s poor health Rod and his brother Derek were placed in the care of Nazareth Nuns at Hammersmith, London sailing to Australia on the Stratnaver in March 1939. Rod was sent to Castledare and Derek to Clontarf. Three years later both were placed at Tardun. While there Rod lost his eye in a serious accident. He left Tardun in 1947 to do various farming and shearing jobs in the country eventually moving to Perth. Sadly for Rod his brother Derek was killed in a traffic accident at Frankland River in 1966. Soon after Rod's own health deteriorated and he retired to Rivervale. To many Rod was an inspiration in his practical concern for his fellow man. To fulfil his last wishes his funeral mass was held at Clontarf and he was buried with his brother Derek at Karrakatta. Source: cberss.org/archive/message.asp493.htm
