Thanks for that further info.


1903 ER THE BARRIER    (December 1903 elections)
Polling at Broken Hill North
HUMPHRIES
Ann Amelia, Blende St, domestic duties
Graham, Blende St, miner
(I cannot find Samuel HUMPHRIES on the Broken Hill ER in 1903, I presume Ann listed above would likely be Mrs Johnstone’s mum, perhaps Graham is also related, but there’s no house names, or street numbers on this particular roll).      I wonder if L HUMPHRIES was Samuel, as in a possible poor scribble from the clergy to the NSW BDM leading to a possible confusion between the old fashioned long hand “L” and “S”.    Still, that’s not finding your Charles JOHNSTONE, shearer.

Do you know when John became known as Archibald?   (approximately ?)

Cheers,  JM

Hi JM
reply to # 21. Do you know when John became known as Archibald? A birth certificate for one of his children in September 1924 he used Archibald. Also his divorce paper from Annie 1929 he was also Archibald. In a funeral notice Broken Hill Jan 1955 he was named as Jack Archibald. He swaps names between each of the children birth

Hi JM,
Reply #21.
In 1903 Archibald had used the name John on his son George birth.

If there is no birth record to find yet, where does this birth date come from...

"....Archibald Johnstone born14 January 1880 Wilcannia  NSW".

About the use of name John / Archibald...when the name is on the birth certificate that you have, is the informant the father, or is it mother....ie...when he is naming himself is Archibald consistent with his name....and maybe other people such as wife are flexible with his name.......

To the extent that you can see BDM certificates, does he always name himself Archibald?
