Hello JM.
I do have the info from the war department on my Dad and you are right there is some real good info in there. I found the address my Dad was at before he left for the war, his wife's name etc. Thanks for your reply. Kindest Regards Olaf

Olaf,

The earliest NSW Directory record I can see for Wholohan is.

1875 PO Directory.
CAMPBELLTOWM.
Wholohan John, labourer, main St.

The Earliest NSW Government Gazette entry was 1834 where a Cornelius Wholohan a farm labourer of Illawarra, was on a list of assignments for male convicts.

I was so excited to stumble across this. My Fathers biological Father was Victor Thomas Rae and my Grandmothers name was Winifred Martha James.  When I was a teenager my grandmother, at lunch, randomly told me that she was previously married to another man and that he was my father and my uncle(Gordon's) real father. My father, Keith, has spoken very little about his father because I think it is a very sensitive subject  for him and I don't like to upset him so I have occasionally browsed online, finding the marriage certificate years ago. My dad, Keith * was born in * and is fit and well living in the Central Coast NSW. His brother (also Victor Thomas Rae's son)is younger and lives in Western Australia.
