PS he isn't on my fathers birth certificate and after birth/six months (?) was placed into a babies home (Dunraven babies nestling home) and when he was 5 years old transferred to a boys home in Falmouth Cornwall, then at 15 transferred to Australia, there was never an adoption of any kind thank you in anticipation elenor62
