Thomas William Kelly

It's difficult when you start researching.  Just write everything down and you'll soon sort it all out.  I've been doing this for more years than I like to remember but it's so much easier today than years ago.

I'll have another look at this tomorrow....and others will help.  Bit late for me....

Cheers

I have tried looking for Charles father and mother but I didn't have much luck talk about a needle in a hay stack

So you were aware of Sylvia's second marriage?

Charles and Sylvia's marriage certificate would show their ages, places of birth, parents' names including mothers' maiden names.

You can order it from
http://www.bdm.dotag.wa.gov.au/_apps/pioneersindex/default.aspx

Search for the marriage entry on the index; click on order; complete the details and lodge.  It will cost $34 as the event occurred more than 75 years ago. Details on death certificate are not always accurate and I prefer to purchase marriage certificates as the information was given by the participant and not a third party.

Details on certificates in Aus however the range of years for marriage certs in WA isn't correct.  Index now extends to 1936.

If you decide to purchase the certificate and are unable to find Charles' parents, please seek further help here.  He may have emigrated to WA.

Cheers
