Thanks for the above information. I have the birth, marriage certificates. The problems I have is finding out about the children's partners and their children. JenniB

Thanks for the information. I had all of that along with some copies of birth and marriage certificates. I am having trouble finding anything on Herbert's and Mary's children, their wives/husbands and children. My father John "jack" dob 1904? I believe was either married or was in a relationship and a child was born. My father came to Australia around 1928 on the Bendigo. Jenni Bailey nee Ledger

my dad John Ledger was born March 26 1904 Sheffield. Do you think your dob is wrong. I am not sure if dad did marry. Believe he did have a daughter. Is there any other information that comes with this. I am hoping this information is correct and dob is wrong. Many thanks, so greatly appreciated.
