WWII - help please with Philip Corpus - Darwin Australia

[Ashtone]

Perhaps the Berkshire connection is through Philip's maternal line. You'd need to find a birth/baptism for him. I don't see anything yet on Family Search, but I don't know how comprehensive their WA records are for the early 20th century.

Have you checked Ancestry records for him?

No definitely not through the Mother's line, have found Henry Goddard(Harry) a Pearler from Broome who came from Berkshire, he fathered two children, definitely confirmed, but looks like he fathered another child and that is where we are trying to work this all out

Regarding Philip's address there are two seperate documents that refer to Derby. One in the archives concerning Philip trying to get employment there post war and one relating to Mary, Philip's Aunt, which mentions Sibero living there aged 84.

Also in a court proceedings in the 1930s Sibero mentions having 6 daughters of which three are still living. Could he have stayed with one of them?

There's a 1946 marriage in Gascoyne, Western Australia for a Philip Corpus.
If it's the fellow you're asking about would the marriage record have any details for his parents?
(I'm not familiar with Australian BMD records, so unsure what parental details are recorded).

[janjim]

Thank you, yes that's correct, he married in 1946, looking into this now.

Thank you, yes Severo died in 1947, and correct he had 6 daughters, wondering what the Court case was about in the 1930's.

The court case can be found using the namesearch link provided by Ashtone, search for Corpus and in document category select 'All'. In the first page of results there is a record for Mary and Kakio, the case concerned their marriage and what legislation applied due to her parentage. Sivero provides evidence about 6 pages in and a little later on.

There's a separate file relating to their internee status so you may see more than one record. It might be helpful to follow up with a search for Kakio (using forename and surname) as his documents also mention her family and various placenames in case any of those details help.

Thanks so much S_L.

Thank you so much for giving me all of this information, so interesting, and so sad the story on poor Mary being interned.
