Wow, thanks for all this extra info - I need some time to digest it all and follow various links, etc....

(Cando: yes, the address was Fernvale Rd, not Ferndale - my mistake.)

Thanks for that Cando - duh - I should read more carefully!

I did look for the South Eastern Times but  the ANL unfortunately only holds the following dates
(1918:Mar.:01 - 1919:Aug.:08)
(1968:July:01 - 2009:Sep.:03)
(2009:Sep.:08 - 2010:Apr.:01)

and is 1958 there? NO   >:(  >:(

I wonder if the library at Millicent might have it, or perhaps when Kris may find it when she is next at the SLSA.

At least I tried  ::)

Grouch for this week - why are places so provincial - South Eastern Times indeed, Border Watch!!!! Don't they realise there may be other places that are South East of somewhere else or on a border.  Albury is the same - Border Morning Mail.  Just like the UK road signs that proudly announce you are on the road to The South!!!!!!!  Well I suppose if you kept going and your car didn't sink........  Rant over.   :-X LOL

Just wanted to say, thanks again for all this information - a pity about the marriage certificate being elusive, but as you've all said, perhaps my grandfather didn't actually marry Elizabeth (the long-standing bigamy story blown out of the water!).

Cando: thanks for the information re: my mother applying for a (potential) marriage certificate: I'll have to put this to my mum when I see her.

The info about my grandfather's passage to Australia, and the electoral roll registers are fantastic.  I'm visiting my uncle (mum's brother) tomorrow and I'm sure he'll be interested to see this info about the father he hardly knew.

I'm away for a week, so if anyone adds to the thread, sorry if I'm a while responding.  Thanks everyone for your brilliant help - I appreciate it alot.
