Printer What makes you think 1905 is the year of birth for Harold?

If the age at death of Nellie Gertrude is correct -68 in 1947, she may have been able to have him in 1923.  She must have been a very young bride.

However  ;D


By the way What do you know about Nellie and Thomas' daughter Beryl?

Here is a birth with right parents names, close year ,but wrong surname. :-\
Bit doubtful if you say the birth name was WILSON

I do not think your information regarding the birth date  of 1905 is correct. The death notice is specific on birthdate of June 1923.

I do not see Harold or the correct Harry WANLESS registered to vote until 1949.  This would tie in with his coming of age in the 1940's

I also have some doubts about Nellie Gertrude being the mother of Harold after a gap in births of 17 or so years. I have searched births to 1918

Thomas her husband died

Reg 11093 year1926    WANLESS    Thomas
Parents John & Sarah
SYDNEY

1930 is the first electoral roll publically available in NSW

1930
Address, Cooee, Oswell St. Rockdale
WANLESS Beryl Gertrude. HD
WANLESS  John Noel, Salesman
WANLESS Nellie Gertrude , HD


1933
Address 56 Addison Rd , Roseville
WANLESS Beryl Gertrude. HD
WANLESS John Noel, Traveller
WANLESS Ethel Alexander HD

Nellie Gertrude had married in 1931 (see above) and Electoral roll 1933-

Address, Cooee, Oswell St. Rockdale
CONLIN, Nellie Gertrude HD
CONLIN, Henry James, police sergeant

Also in 1931, there was an engagement announced for Beryl.  However, perhaps there was a change of heart as I see no marriage to this man for her.

http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16773498?

Beryl married
REG 17075yr 1935    HILL    Edward G    WANLESS    Beryl G
At ASHFIELD
 
So we see Beryl living with her mother or brother  and not in the workforce up to her marriage in 1935.

Marriage
REG 20655 Yr 1961 WANLESS Harry Garth to MOBBS Joyce Rubina at PARRAMATTA

The information on the official transcription of that marriage will include details about both the bride and the groom, including their then ages, places of birth, status, parents names (including mum's nee name, and if known to be deceased) and their occupations, usual residences and other vital family history info.
