Whoah, sorry about the long website link. I can't make it into a proper link at the moment as a few pertinent keys have been sticking on my keyboard (blame the kiddies).

Thank you so much for Charles Norris birth details. In the divorce transcript Charles talks about arriving in Sydney with his mother on a particular news years day, never mention of a father then or since. In his Army records his age varies by several years.
Thank you also for website info as well. I appreciate your help.
