He was born Arthur John Gilder 29 October 1921 in Queensland and at some point assumed the name Arthur John O'Brien. I know he was still using Gilder when he married in NSW in 1942. He had changed to O'Brien by 1954, but I don't know how long prior to this he changed. His children were born as O'Brien in Victoria from this date. I am in regional WA so not able to get to any BDM offices in QLD, NSW or VIC to research this any further. Can anybody give me any advice on what the next logical step would be?
