Hi Judy, I am most interested in this posting of yours. Harold Sykes was married to my grandmother's sister, Valerie May Berkholz. They married 1921, in BH. She was born 1898 in BH. Am unsure of Harold's birth but I'm sure he was a number of years older than Val. She died 1987, Sydney. Harold some years before. I'm sure I have it written down somewhere, but can't locate it now. I recall visiting them on the odd trip to Sydney as a child in the 60s. I know they retired to a a suburb near the airport as I recall watching aircraft take-off and land from their front porch. 5 minutes later: Just found a Berkholz family history written around 1980: It says that Harold died 1979 aged 96 years. Unsure of when they moved from BH, however in this family history he is described as a leading photographer of the city. I suppose given that Harold would have been around 38 when he married, that he'd have been at the Hill for some years before 1921. The family history also says that they moved to a property in the Windsor/Richmond area - presumably before moving to the location near the airport. I'd be interested in what you have - if there's anything to share.
