The index to the register of dependent children NSW State Archives gives 2 others with "same parental details"
They are Edna and Gwen.

I can no longer find the source of tis information
. It is perhaps not correct.
There is a point of contradiction in the information provided by the 2 posters GeoffTurner and Dorothycourt63. with Geoff saying -
"We know Bridget was fostered out,"
Dorothycourt63 asserts -
"Bridget stayed in a children’s home. Until the day she was old enough to leave."
Dorothycourt63 tells of her contact with Bridget's daughter.
What else does this daughter know? Any hints of Bridget's early life?
I would like to go back to Bridget GREY in the Dependent Children's Register whom you have rejected as the infant.
Maddy has kindly pointed out in #5 that there is one day's difference in the birthdate of Bridget whose document you have and the girl in the document I have offered. Highly likely, as mentioned, they are the same girl.
Perhaps this section of the thread is worth a re-read.
And as mentioned, There is not another registered
Albion Park, where Sydney Ross is purported to live, is about 6 kilometers from Jamberoo.
As you will see from the DCR record I have offered, Bridget went to be fostered by Mrs Elizabeth BARRETT.and remained there for many years perhaps until "old enough to leave."
Some information about Elizabeth and husband Thomas of Massey Street can be found in Trove and NSW BMD.
Could you tell us anything else you know about Bridget whichmay support or contradict the possibility of the DCR girl being correct ?
