Hi Dianna, At the Australian Archives is a WW1 record for John Robert WALTON, born 24 May 1901 at Bingara, next-of-kin Louisa KELLY, father deceased; enlisted 26 May 1918, discharged 3 June 1918 for being under age. There is a death for John A. WALTON, son of Daniel and Catherine, at Bingara in 1902 (822/1903). I couldn't find marriages or births either - maybe no marriage took place and children are registered under a different name? Harriet L. THOMPSON had a number of children at Bingara with no father's name shown in the index, including one in 1901 shown as General R.E.R. THOMPSON. Also Mary C.M.B. THOMPSON in 1897 - maybe Molly Catherine? Cheers Trish Nowra NSW > I’m doing some research on the above who was born 24-5-1899 in BINGARA > NSW.
