Might have to wait till next week to order cert, think I've spent enough money today.
Do you know of any way in which I can find out about His being a photo Journalist/press photographer.
His son remembers him saying he covered the big floods in Newcastle I think,
He lived at the Carlton Hotel in Scott street at the time.

Have sent for WW2 file through NAA may take up to 90 days as the file isn't open, will recieve all files and certificate in a binder according to the site, dosn't say what would be included in the paperwork, hopefully a bit more information on where he came from & when.
Indulged myself to a few credits on findmypast but no luck so far, the family just don't want to be found.
Is a possibility he didn't know his mothers surname.

Reginald M does show on the 1911 census as 15 yrs in Lancs also a Constance Georgina b. 1905. parents Charles & Georgina
I don't have access to the 1911 but, I have a feeling that this is not the family, I'm sure they wouldn't name two boys the same especially if one is still alive.
Reginald C noted his father as a carpenter, Effies father was also a carpenter.
There is a Charles Russell in the 1901 census who is a married lodger in Dorset who's occupation is a carpenter, but how does one find the rest of the family?????

Oh you guys are so fantastic, have been searching for years and just couldn't put it together.
Marriage cert has him aged 27 in 1929 so making his birth year 1902. Showing parents as Charles Russell, carpenter dec & Georgina Mary Smith dec
Death Cert in 1956 makes his birth year 1903. unfortunately it dosn't show parents name on that.
Had a fresh look at the marriage cert and it does say London England, I had no idea that he served in the war so a new avenue to look at now.
YAY judb & cando
great work, it pays to get the help of an extra set of eyes       ;D ;D ;D
Thanks for taking the time to do the look ups, much appreciated

Am desperate for some help here with Reginald, dosn't seem to exist before his marriage in 1929.
What I have is
Apparently arrived in Australia from England in 1925, Married Effie Pomfret in 1929 at Christ Church Cathedral, Newcastle, NSW . Certificate states he is a press photographer.. Gives his birth as 1902 England. parents as Charles Edward Russell, Carpenter & Georgina Mary Smith.
Could anyone possibly have a look to see when and where  he came from  for me please.
Cheers

Hi Chris

William & ann are my family I have a few descendants, I have a few for Thomas and thats about it.
Can't remember where I got the info, was from a Lady also doing this family many years ago, too many notes to go searching through to find out who, totally disorganised. And a lot of info gone missing thanks to my faithful computer.
Cheers
