It certainly sound like the right Norman Ross, he certainly sound like he was a busy boy, if Lily Ross
was born in 1914 and Reg 1915 and Bill 1916. We always thought he worked for Burns Phips, but we have discovered that it was Levers. My husbands grandmother Olivet was married to a George Chaperlin who worked for Burns Philp on Guadacanal. From what we know George Chaperlin went of to the First World War in 1914 and when he returned he found that Olivet had two children,
Reg and Bill, when they where reunited Olivet then had another 3 children to George all born on
Guadacanal, so they are Chaperlins, they are all still living but Reg and Bill have passed. We weren't sure where Norman was from but assumed it was the British Isles. Because he died young, there is no more information on him. Looking forward to some more info.

This is fabulous,  this is the first itme we have had anyone return any information on
Norman Ross, we know that he died on an island from Malaria. We have been looking
for any information that we can find. My husbands father's birth and his brother Bill Ross
was registered in Sydney by Norman Ross as their foster father. But we also know that
these boys were born to Olivet Chaperlin. Olivet was later to have three more children
Eric, George, Henry (Tosca)  To her resistered husband
George Chaperlin, who worked for Burns Philip. Burns Philip has a ship called Tosca. We
have photos of Gaduala Canal and the boys with their boy Johhnie Arfu, who went to
Scotts College in Sydney.  There is problaby much more I can relay, but lets make sure we
have the right Bill Ross. Reg was born 1915 and Bill 1916. Births both registered on the same day
in Sydney by Norman Ross.  PS Lever and Burns Phillip are not the same company but where operation in the Soloamons at the sam time. Please gt back asap. Have photos's

Hi David,  Yes I was supposed to attend the funeral of Uncle Ken, but track work on the Southern line
turned the trip into a 5.30 hour trip, with a departure time of 3.55 pm to make it to Bomaderry by
9.20 am. I spoke to Warren and he said that he understood and that we would catch up later as
we both live on the Central Coast. I would love any photo's you have, I think I have a few of POP,
one on his motorbike and one with Reg as a boy on his shoulders. By the way I am one of Arthur's
kids,  Virginia, Terry, Hazel and me the last Ruth. My mum always insisted that I was named after
Winfred's sister Ruth. I was also very young when POP died, but spent lots of time with Nana when
we came up to Tomerong. I remember the house so well. How do we e-mail direct. I saw one posting and it had blank out the address and said something about not allowing e-mail addresses on the
postings and I haven't done three postings so can not use PM messaging yet. I am on FB.

Hi Lorayne & Dave,

Looked up Peter McGuire and found you both talking about my faimly, Peter McGuire is my Great Great Grandfather. It was confusing to me when I did some research because
there were three Peter McGuire's my grandfather being Peter III. Don't think I can help much you
seem to have more information and photos than I do. In actual fact I would like any photos that
you could send me.

Ruth
