Ada Gray - parramatta girls home

[wdlocky]

Hi

I had a copy of a page from I believe a parramatta girls home which had Ada Gray as being committed in 1917, but I have lost the page or link.

Can someone please look this one up for me, She may have been known as Ada Gertrude Gray and born in 22nd April 1903.  Her parents were Walter Gray and Florence Briar.  Anything on this home or the previous home or her details on her committal.  I also believe she married around 1921 (that's when she left the home).

There was a page from the book that stated she was an "uncontrollable half-caste aboriginal, absconded from home at Cootamundra.

Thanks for your help.

I am also looking for any of her siblings details that I Haven't already got.  They may have been born in NSW or Qld.  I have attached a list of them and what details I already have.  I can't find any birth certificates for any of them - but have gone by death certificates to get most of their approximate dates of birth.

Thanks in advance.

I think you have attached the wrong image, these are the siblings of Walter GRAY.

Did you just want to know where it is?  On Ancestry it is under.....

Directories & Member Lists
School Lists & Yearbooks
New South Wales, Australia, Industrial School Registers, 1867-1925

Strange, I know, but that's Ancestry for you 

She was discharged to her grandmother at Yass when she was 18.

Parents both dead in 1917, are you sure Walter was her father?

I also believe she married around 1921 (that's when she left the home).

No, there is no marriage for her.

Thanks, sorry siblings of Ada Gray ( walter’s sister Ada, not his daughter ada).

I am struggling to find anything on any of her siblings.  I have death certs of two of her brothers, and also of walter.  I dont have access to ancestry at the moment, hopefully will be able to get back on soon.

Sorry. I am still confused about what you are seeking.
However, if it is about the children of Walter GRAY and Florence BRIAR, it states on the record for Ada that her parents were both dead

If the certifcate for Walter GRAY that you have is for her father then he must have died between 1902/3 (her birth) and 1917/18 when she was discharged to her grandmother.

On the death certificate, who are the listed children for Walter?

This is an item from the news which refers to   couple Walter and Florrie GRAY in 1902
