Good afternoon, Researching my g/father Robert JONES, b. 1875 Mayfield, Field of Mars nr. Parramatta to William Henry Jones & Elizabeth (Young/Perry) brother of Henry: James, John, Alfred: step-brother of Elizabeth Perry & Alexander Perry. Robert married (H)Ellen Barnes 1904 Balmain. Children: Robt. Wm. Henry: Alfred John: Elizabeth Ellen: Doris. Ellen d.1912: he was a heavy drinker: the children were placed in Our Childrens Home, Nth. Strathfield & Our Boys Home, Camden - later all stayed at the Nth. Strathfield home. When Ellen died Robert wandered around parts of NSW and appears to have stayed in Trunkey Creek for some time working around the areas gold mines. He lost contact with his children until the 1950's and died in 1961. I am clutching at straws, however, I wonder if he married again or lived in a relationship whilst living in that area. Regards, Joan.
HI Joan A death certificate in most cases would have listed all marriages that he entered into. Also children that were had to those relationships.

You wait and watch and work: you don't give up.
