    There are these from Ancestry but I don’t have World Access to view.
    There are a few births with surname Sheldrake Hewlett but can’t see Arthur 1909 +/- 5yrs.

    I have found Arthur HEWLETT aged 30, and Insurance Agent, whose last UK address was the Wilton Hotel, London W.C.1, departing London on 1 Jan 1939 for Sydney on the “Strathallan”.

    There is also a record of an A.S. Hewlett aged 30 leaving London for Sydney on 26 Feb 1937 aboard the “Orford”. That gentleman had no occupation, and was travelling with his wife Mrs M.F. Hewlett aged 40. They had come from Guernsey and were intending to settle in Australia.

    There is no birth record for an Arthur Sheldrake or Arthur S in the time frame, at least in England or Wales. There are 3 “plain” Arthur births:
    1907 – Birmingham – mother’s maiden name Earp
    1909 – Monmouth – mother’s maiden name Williams
    1911 – Wortley (Yorkshire) – mother’s maiden name Bennett

    If it turned out to be the one in Guernsey then their birth records are separate and I don’t have access to those.

    Does also say contracted to land at Durban but country of intended residence to be England.

    So do you think Mable Frances could be his mother not his wife.
