Hello Carl, Thank you very much for your assistance. I apologise for the delay in replying, but I have been busy chasing up the various leads people have given me. I have found the children of the couple on NSW BDM and now I am after the names of the parents of those parents. This family history research is a very time-consuming business, but enjoyable provided one can make at least one step forward.
