Hi Everyone, So the location is confirmed as Largs Bay in South Australia - thanks to the old postcode (thanks for the explanations) and Peita's information in regard to births. Children of William Adam(s) and Barbara Duncan: Leonard William Adams Gertrude Adams Edna Phyllis Adams Elizabeth McKenzie Adams and 2 others to be found Margaret Adam(s) Female Adam(s) - possibly Elsie I now have names and date of births for four of the six children, the other two girls must have been born before the family moved to Largs Bay. One of them is definitely Margaret Adam(s). I have attempted to order Barbara Adam(s) (nee Duncan) death certificate online and hopefully that works out okay. I will investigate further online.
