Perhaps the CRYSTAL St. address was his business.

I go to bed and look what appears overnight!!  Thank you so much for all this.

I didn't know about Grace but it looks like she is the last daughter - born after the 1881 census!  As you say, what a pity for Frederick to travel all that way and die two years later.  One of his daughters lived 'til she was 93!

I'm in a bit of a dash at the moment, but will read through everything in more detail later in the day.

Thanks again,

Janet

Hi Jan,

I'm sure you're thrilled - Cando and Sue are brilliant! I was thrilled and it's nothing to do with me

Hi All,

I'm sure you're thrilled - Cando and Sue are brilliant! I was thrilled and it's nothing to do with me
 
Just leave it at Cando please. My efforts are merely murmurings in the background

It is nice to be appreciated however it was just a matter of having the right resources and this am was far too cold in  to venture outside, so what is better than sitting in a lovely warm office helping others....and beats housework any day

Ah Sue you do much more than murmur in the background

Cheers

Hi
Back to Grace WLMSHURST.

This WW2 service record  caught my eye as a possible son to DAVID and GRACE MURPHY

MURPHY, STEPHEN WILMHURST (sic) seems to have joined the Royal Australian Air Force  and his number was 130874 .  His birth date was 19 Feb 1909 at SYDNEY, NSW  Looks like he enlisted 9 Feb 1943 on  At the time of his enlistment he appears to be living at HAMILTON  and he enlisted at   SYDNEY, NSW  His NOK shows as    MURPHY, MARTHA  Seems he ended his service on 17 Apr 1946and his rank thenwas Leading Aircraftman

This may possibly be his marriage

13289/1931 MURPHY, STEPHEN to WILLIAMS, MARTHA K J @MOSMAN

The MURPHY/WHILMSHURST marriage as Cando has posted took place at MOSMAN
