I do Ros, but it is only from2004 onwards. Another clue is that Mervyn worked at Coperative Bulk Handling around the Northam area in the 60's

He did not enrol to vote so unable to track his addresses from the electoral rolls. 

You wrote he was in the army.  You have been given information that he called himself Mervyn Robert QUINLAN when a soldier.  Just because his name was written Robert Mervyn on his mother's death certificate and the informant may have been her second husband whom she married the year before she died, doesn't make it correct.

You need to have an open mind when doing family research and pursue all avenues including spending some dollars occasionally.

You were given the same information from your query on another family history forum.

I believe he didn't have a birth certificate & when he wanted to go into the Army his mother registered him in her name.
Obviously born post 1932 in WA or his birth wasn't registered.

Thanks Merlin...I know I need new specs ::) but I think I only searched for Mervyn ::) so the story that his birth was registered when he enlisted appears to be incorrect.

I wonder if Mervyn Robert/Robert Mervyn ever used the BELL.
