  Notes	1911 census: at Gwendolen Cottages, Seer Green, Beaconsfield (5 rooms), Victor Leon WORLEY (head, 27, single, musician, organist, born Seer Green), Minnie MATTHEWS (sister, 37, married 13 years, 1 child, living, born Seer Green) and Arthur Dawson Victor MATTHEWS (nephew, 13, born Chalfont St Giles). Victor emigrated to Australia. Aged 27, he is listed as a passenger on the "Bushman" which left Liverpool on 15 March 1912 for Melbourne. On 26 April 1934 Victor arrived back at Tilbury on the SS "Orford" from Brisbane; he was 49, a stationer. A stationer aged 50, he returned to Australia on the "Otranto" on 1 September 1934. He came back to England again, arriving at Tilbury on 19 February 1937 on the "Narkunda" from Brisbane; he was a stationer aged 52; he returned to Sydney, Australia on 29 October 1937 on the SS "Strathaird", age now 53, no occupation. Sources for these: findmypast.co.uk and ancestry.com. Victor made several appearances in Australian Electoral Rolls: 1913: Victor Leon Worley, stationer, Prospero Street, Murwillumbah, Byron, NSW 1930, 1932, 1936, 1937: Victor Leon Worley, newsvendor, Murwillumbah, Richmond, NSW 1943: Victor Leon Worley, no occupation, 70 Park Road, Bowral, Eden Monaro, NSW 1949: Victor Leon Worley, no occupation, 70 Park Road, Bowral, MacArthur, NSW Victor's death was reported in the Sydney Morning Herald on Monday 3 Nov 1952: WORLEY, Victor Leon - November 2 1952, at his residence, 70 Park Road, Bowral (late of Murwillumbah). Source: trove.nla.gov.au I can't find any evidence that Victor married in New South Wales but it's possible he married elsewhere in Australia. He wasn't accompanied by a wife on his visits to England and there's no indication of a wife in the Electoral Rolls.
