Haven't a clue. What if David SIMPSON's wife was a HALLIDAY?
She was adopted on 19th March 1941 by David & Margaret Mary Simpson from "Lynwood" Glenburn Road Dunmurry
Entry was 347 Dated 3rd April 1941 County Court County of Antrim Division of BELFAST date of Birth 13th December 1937
We got the certificate Copy 4th March 1976

No problems. It is just that Hessie was adopted in 1941 by the Simpsons and it wasn't until 40 years later when she applied for a passport that the "secret" came out.

Many thanks for the prompt reply. Hessie HALLIDAY was an illegitimate child b.1937 so the only thing I have to go on his her mother's name Maud which would probably put her in the 1917- 21 year of birth but I could be wrong she could have been older.

World War One / Royal Navy service records

many thanks. Interestingly he transfers from the RN to join the AIF in 1917. The transport ship on which he travelled to England is torpedoed and sunk in the English Channel. All 1700 Australian soldiers and crew on board are rescued. He marries an English girl later in 1917.

PS I have just checked this record on Ancestry. And it states Dismissal Approved by C in C Australia after 90 days HL for "indecent conduct". Do you know what indecent conduct constituted in the RN of the day.
