Morning Bulletin (Rockhampton) 13 Nov 1905
DEATH OF MRS. G. F. SANDROCK.
There will be many people in Rockhampton
who will learn with much regret this
morning of the death on Saturday evening
of Mrs. Sandrock, wife of Mr. G. F. Sand
rock. Mr. and Mrs. Sandrock first came
to Rockhampton over forty years ago and
have always been held in the highest
esteem. Of recent years their great age
and still more remarkable alertness both
of mind and body have made them con-
spicuous on that account alone. The late
Mrs. Sandrock completed her ninety-first
year on the 7th instant. She was born at
Mornington, Kent, England, on the 7th of
November, 1814, the year before Waterloo,
and was married to Mr. Sandrock in her
native village in January, 1844, nearly
sixty-two years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Sand-
rock came to Australia in 1853, and came
first to Rockhampton in 1863. Mrs. Sand-
rock passed away peacefully on Saturday
evening and was buried yesterday after
noon. Death at that age can hardly be
called sad in the ordinary sense of the
word, the sadness is for the partner who
is left, and for whom in his loneliness there
will be warm and general sympathy.

Northern Miner (Charters Towers) 21 May 1909
MR. SANDROCK’S 90th BIRTHDAY
A short outline of Mr. Sandrock's
career may be of Interest to Rock
hampton readers at this present Junc
ture. He was born on the 16th May,
1819, at Chatham, Kent, England, and
was married on the 20th January, 1845,
to Miss S. M. Pain (who died on the
11th November 1905, aged 91 years).
Prior to this, he had left England for
the West Indies (1834) remaining at
Barbadoes three years, after which he
returned to England, and took the pos
ition of clerk with the firm of Bar
sham and Lonsdale, until the end of
1843, when he was appointed Reliev
ing Officer at Greenwich, which ap
pointment he kept until 1863. He
then left for Sydney, where he took a
position as a clerk, and occupied sev
eral appointments In that capacity
until 1863, when he was appointed:
third officer of Customs at Rockhamp
ton, arriving here 12th October, 1863.
In 1866 be was promoted to second
officeship, and at the end of the same
year was appointed Sub-collector of
Customs for the Gulf of Carpentaria,
with headquarters at Sweer's Island,
where he remained until 1873, when he
took up the same position at Bowen,
which he held until 6th March, 1885.
He retired from the Government ser
vice on that last date, and built a sub
urban home with a lucrative orchard,
living thereon until the year of his
golden wedding In 1895, when he and
Mrs. Sandrock took an extended trip
south, visiting friends, after which
they came and settled for a second
