Ada Gray - parramatta girls home

[majm]

Could "Narrua" be handwritten?  If so, could it be "Narran" (so ending with 'n' )

Back in 1890s there was an Out Station in the Berwarrina area named NARRAN.  Near Narran Lake 
Near Walgett North .... County of Finch.

re Johanna STANLEY and John William GRAY  it has the pdf  1886 d.c. with Narran NS Wales.

I will ask a moderator to move that thread from the Family History Beginners Board to the Australia Board.

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.

Frederick Albert Hill b1898 in Yass and his sister Violet Florence born 23.4.1900 are mistakenly listed as siblings but are infact the children of Walter Hill  and Grace Florrie Briar. I have no confirmed siblings of Ada Gertrude Gray nor the date she and George William Field were married.
