Birth look up please

From Ancestry 

While these collections make up some of the most important indexes of early Australian marriage records, they are not necessarily 100 percent complete—compliance to registration laws, of course, varied, and Australia’s vast distances complicated most any record-keeping effort. In this collection records are available for the following span of years:

    New South Wales — 1788-1945
    Northern Territory — 1870-1913
    Queensland — 1829-1935
    South Australia — 1842-1937
    Tasmania — 1803-1919
    Victoria — 1836-1920
    Western Australia — 1841-1950

Edited to add that Elsie May had a son with George Quigley, who was named George ( so he is a legitimate Quigley and Lesley's elder brother)- I find it interesting that the NOK on the attestation papers is George "King"; possibly George Quigley signing but using "King" as well?

Firstly Frank could give any information he wished when enlisting....nothing was checked and possibly he added the surname KING to his brother George.  We will never know. 

If any of you are serious about finding a first marriage then perhaps those certs could be a starting point and the cost shared.    It is also possible that Frank married but used another name as he was an illegal absentee and obviously wouldn't want to be found.

I wouldn't make too many statements about who were the fathers of Elsie May DAVEY's children...have you read ALL the thread but especially this post by Debra.

Well after reading this document, it seems that George QUIGLEY was not the father of most of Elsie's children.

I think this might be the father

At least they are an interesting family

Yep-read those links. Quite the family history tumbling out of the closet!

My only real interest in Lesley Herbert Quigley is that he was an older brother of my grandmother (she told me about him a couple of years before she died-and gave me an envelope with the address of his daughter in the UK)-and that a few weeks ago I was able to meet one of his sons (my mum's cousin) and his (Lesley's)granddaughter. We had made contact via Ancestry.com about 18 months ago.

The meeting opened up even more questions about the family-most will probably never be answered!

Cando.....I have been back over his attestation papers to see if i have missed something there.
i have searched for a marriage pre 1939 enlistment in the name of Frank King and Leslie Herbert Quigley (and all possible variations of names!) via Ancestry.com
Interestingly, i have noticed that since finding out about the alias name being used, the trees containing him as Leslie Herbert Quigley have gone from public to private!!!  The plot thickens! lol 
I welcome any help, no matter where it brings me.

I was actually addressing my reply to Munch - she started the thread
