William Harry ROWLES birth place
« on: Monday 21 March 22 11:59 GMT (UK) »
William Harry Rowles marries Mildred Bridget O'Sullivan in 1914 at Wellington, New Zealand.
They had 3 children; Kathleen Mary Mildred in 1918, Margaret Elizabeth in 1919 and
William Harry in 1921.
I cannot find any birth for William Harry who would have been born about 1887, but where.
Can you help find his birth.

Thanks Rosie,
That looks likely. I know he was not born in England and New Zealand so Australia looks the most promising. Are there any more details you couls find.

You could maybe look through some newspaper collections  in New Zealand on.
Papers past natlib.govt.NZ
Or Trove.nla.au for Australia
Getting a copy of the marriage certificate would be the best think to get to make sure it's the right person regarding the parents ..His marriage is there on papers past but no parents mentioned  ???
