Thanks mum mum and judb :)

A few minutes ago I received a scanned copy of the Illawarra Mercury from Wollongong library after emailing them as suggested on this board and it has the information I was looking for, including the name of a half brother I never knew existed. Thanks so much to everyone for their help :)

I am mystified about the 8 Massey st Berkeley. I grew up at 40 Massey st Berkeley, and perhaps my grandparents lived on the same street at number 8. In fact I might even have some vague long forgotten memories of visiting now that I think of it. Sorry it might seem silly that I dont know these things but everything changed after the divorce and move which was around 1980 and some things were not spoken about.

Thanks again for everyones time and assistance!

Dan

Hi Dan,
I guess that was a bit of a surprise finding a half brother even though you did half expect it.

Good luck with your family research and I hope that if your decide to contact your half brother all goes well for you.

Thanks mum mum for your well wishes. I am already looking at a certain person on facebook and they look just like me so this is all a bit of a surprise but it's a very nice surprise :)

Cheers and thanks

Dan
