Matthew Weekes??

[The-Game]

As my family are trying to find out about our family history, on both my mum and dad's sides and their parents sides. We're trying to find out any information on a man believed to be named Mathew/Matthew Weekes/Weeks who is believed to of been born between 1908-1912 not sure where. But It's our belief he was in Cowra, New South Wales, Australia in 1931(in his early 20's). Unfortunetly we do not have any more info on this man. But some family have spent fruitless hours going through records and we can't seem to find him. Any info is much appreciated,

Hi,
Can't see anything on electoral roll, the only Matthew Weekes is in Qld 1970's and 1980. I can't find anything on Trove either, only a Matthew Weekes in Hobart.

Hello Turner family

What information do you have on Matthew Weekes?  Where does he fit into your family? 
There's nothing obvious in the NSW BDMs online but they only go up to 1911. 
Could he have been born overseas?

He seems not to have been born in NSW after 1911 either.

Hello Prue,
                  We don't have any information other then we believe he was in Cowra, New South Wales, Australia in 1931/32 when he was around 22-24 (possibly born 1909?), Though due to the information being relayed from an 85-90 year old roughly 15-20 years ago the details might of been misconscrued. This gentleman is is deceased or would be in his 100's.

Hi
Do you know his occupation, was he a friend of the older person who told you about him??

I wonder what other names could be confused with Weekes?

I had a thought that this person might have been about the right age to have served in WW2, but the only WEEKES or WEEKS with a given name of Matthew is:

QX14335 Thomas Matthew WEEKS b. 1915 in Qld (barcode 4851715 on the NAA catalogue)

Doesn't look promising 

The-Game/Turner family, is this person involved in your family somehow? I'm just trying to work out how we can find him, was he married into the family, was he the father of a child of your family, was he just an acquaintance that you're trying to find out about?  What is the significance of Cowra, is that where your family was?

From what I've been told, due to it being a delicate topic, It's believed he was in Cowra, unknown why, but he had an indiscretion with my great grandmother, and it's believed he may of been an unknowing father to one of her children. So details have always been very scarce

I thought it might have been something like that 

We'll keep digging, and maybe something will turn up.
