Leonard Joachim Beckhaus
« on: Thursday 03 August 23 12:44 BST (UK) »
Hello All
I'm have trouble finding birth around 1908? (can't find NSW) trying to find parents and siblings if any, if  married?

Death is 4th October 1994 NSW AU
Does anyone have any ideas!

Thanks

This appears to be his father, family trees on Ancestry claim that the children were born in South Africa.

BECKHAUS, Joseph - October 23, 1951, at his residence, 29 Percival Road, Caringbah, beloved husband of Ellen Beckhaus, loved father of Ella (Mrs. Jarman), Annie (Sister Joachim), Leonard (Christian brother), father-in-law of Thomas, and grandfather of Leonard, aged 81 years.

If you  purchase his death certificate it should give place of birth but depends on how accurate that info is. Family Search has some South Africa records.
From Ancestry.com.au and National Archives Australia Militia records:
Name   Leonard Joseph Beckhouse
Birth Date   19 Feb. 1908
Military Packet Year Range   1923-1946
Unfortunately no image available that I can find. A Family tree on Ancestry has him born Somerset South Africa. No source linked so not much help really.
