Thnks for your reply,. The problem being we live 6 hours drive from Sydney
( the closest place to be able to research) and this makes it hard but I
will check the web address sent to see what I can find as we have no
information on this fellow other that his birthdate and where he was born
and where he came into Australia with his parents and siblings.
Kind regards, Chris
