Just when i thought i had it all figured out up pops another mystery.
Emily Hope born 1893 Woonona NSW Australia. Unable to find a birth certificate for her.
Father listed as Joseph Hope 1858-1913
Mother listed as Rachel Smith 1858-1918
I am in possession of her Marriage Certificate (to William Williams) and her Death Certificate and both site Joseph and Rachel as her parents.
Now for the strange part:- I have the death certificates for both Joseph and Rachel and neither one mentions Emily.
Both of their certificates state that they had one child, Richard, who i knew about and thought he was Emily's brother.
I hope someone can throw some much needed light on how i can find out the birth details of Emily and who her parents really were.
Thanks
Kaye
