Hi all, Arthur Augustine Geard was apparently a acrobat at some time and changed his name to Arthur Augustine St Clair. He married Violet Evelyn Kane in 1913 - his marriage certificate shows that his father was Herbert Geard but no mother was listed! WWI records in the National Archives under St Clair states he was born in Melbourne - no birth records exist! We have both Arthur and Violet's death certificates- Arthur died in 1934 and Violet in 1932.... both state buried at Rookwood. They had 7 children,one of which is my mum's father.We are trying to find out any information on Arthur as he appears to be a mystery! We found a lot of information on Rootsweb - mainly relating to my mum's first marriage! TIA Joe

What does his death cert say in relation to his marriage cert ?? does the info match?? Who supplied the info ? He is in the NSW 1930 electoral roll living at 155 Rocky Point Road Kogarah occ 'retired' ?? There is a Herbert GEARD in TAS 1903 e roll but he is way too young to have had a son in 1886 Arthur ST CLAIR didnt leave a will There are alot of GEARD entries in http://www.genesreunited.co.uk/relations/search/ all for TAS What is a bit weird is there are 3 of their kids births registered 3 times each all in 1913 the year they married ?? 3 times triplets ?? cant be Cant help but wonder why he joined up as at 28 he was older than alot of them and had 3 very young children Bye -- MargM Beautiful Wyong Shire NSW
