Phyllis, I am not sure if you know of the NSW Births Deaths and Marriages site: http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/ There are no birth listings (up to 1905). There are three wedding entries: 1. Ernest SIDGREAVES to Elsie M BRUCE at Sydney in 1926 Reg #4903 2. Harry SIDGREAVES to Grace HOLLAND 1930 Randwick #14940 3. Harold to Madeline HOARE at Sydney 1935 Reg#64 There are seven deaths including Harry & Grace's and two others in that area 1. Mary SIDGREAVES (parents George & Sarah) in 1925 #166181 (think this is your Harold's mother) 2. Harold Paling SIDGREAVES 1964 #14268 (parents John & Mary) Another at Newtown- not too far from Rockdale & may be your Harold's father. 1. John Thomas SIDGREAVES 1938 #18342 (76 years in Erskineville which is next to Newtown -both inner suburbs of Sydney & near the family business at Redfern) The two others are for Katoomba in the Blue Mountains -around 90 minutes from Sydney (and not close to Rockdale of Sutherland in the Southern suburbs of Sydney). They appear to be your Harold's brother son and his wife. 1. Elsie Maud SIDGREAVES d at Katoomba 1954 #25771 2. Ernest d at Katoomba 1967 #10304 Kind regards, Julia Wollongong NSW
