I am looking for any information on Robert Hughes tin miner from Emmaville born around 1882 died 9/1/1960 and currently buried in emmaville, his father was James. He lived with Madge Riley. Madge had many children that took on the hughes name. I believe Robert & Madge had a child together Robert born 1922 in Burwood. Looking for any information anyone may have on any of this family

Hi :)
The baby born 1922 .... can you confirm that you already know is no longer living ? We are not allowed to name or identify the living and of course the various BDM online registers dont display births registered less than 100 years ago. :)
I am not near my offline NSW resources including 1880s etc but will be back home this coming weekend so will get to them then re Emmaville and surrounds :D
