Find Ancestors

Hi
i was wondering if anyone can help me to see who my Grandfathers dad was.
My grandfathers name is Norman Moon born 15.7.1914 in Sydney,NSW,Australia.
His Mother was Eliza Belle Dunning born 1893 in Wickham NSW Australia and the man who raised my Pop was Eric Roslyn Moon born 1894 in Waterloo NSw Australia.
I believe my pop Normans birth certificate was amended in 1915 just before Eliza and Eric were married.
Could this mean Eric was added as Normans father?
is there any way of finding out what was amended on my pops birth cerificate?
Jodie

I don't know about Australian certificates, but in UK if you applied for a copy of the birth certificate you would receive one with the ammendment written in full on the far right-hand side.
I have a copy of a 1888 birth. The copy was sent for in 1947 and the details were added to the certificate and dated September 1901.

Jodie - edit your heading to include the word Australia

found some information by google...

seems he lied about his age to a Rev. and was charged with lieing under oath....by his marriage he was only 19 without his parents premission so maybe that is the amendement? he may have put his age up and it was amended to his correst age?when found out?

Eric Moon Disappeared i think in the early 60's without a trace,no-one nows whatever happened to him.
Thank again for your help

Jodie ... a 'transcription' of birth cert will be cheaper than buying it .... i.e. 'Joy Murrin's Trannscription Services' will email copy for abt $19.

Hi Cupcakes,

The Sydney Morning Herald (NSW : 1842 - 1954)
Friday 22 October 1915, page 4
QUARTER SESSIONS.
(Before Judge Backhouse and jury)
Mr. Herbert Harris, Crown Prosecutor.
A FALSE STATEMENT.
Erlc Roslyn Moon, 19, pleaded guilty to a charge of having made,
on oath, before tho Rev A E. Forbes, at Canterbury, on May 9 a statement that he had attained the age of' 21 -years. He was bound over on hls own recognisance in £10 to appear for sentence if and when called upon to do so.

The fellow mentioned above in Cupcake's second post died 5/12/1971 aged 74 years and is buried at Casino General Cemetery, 6362 Private, 19th Bttn. - husband of Mary and father of Eric and Raymond. Son of David and Mary, so probably isn't the same person.

no it's not the same eric,don't think her ever wanted to be found

This ER confirms the hospital mention that Cupcakes posted:

Australian Electoral Rolls, 1903-1980
Name: Eric Roslyn Moon
Gender: Male
Electoral Year: 1963
State: New South Wales
District: Reid
Subdistrict: Granville South

He was a carpenter living at 74 Roseberry Road, Guildford with Belle Eliza.

Living nearby at no 64 were a Reginald and Ronald Moon, both labourers. (Any relation?)

Don't see Eric or Belle on any later ERs.

The Sydney Morning Herald, Wednesday 20 May 1942:

Funeral Notices:

MOON -The Relatives and Friends of Mr SPENCER BARDEN MOON and family, Mr and Mrs TOM FIELDS and family, Mr and Mrs ERNEST GRAHAM and family, Mr and Mrs ERIC ROSLYN MOON and family, Mr and Mrs NORMAN ERNEST MOON and family, Mr and Mrs FRANK KELLY are kindly invited to attend the funeral of their beloved father and grandfather William Moon to leave his daughter's residence, Mrs I. Graham, 46 Stoddart Street Lakemba, this Wednesday, after service commencing at 2 p.m. for Methodist Cemetery Rookwood. WOOD COFFILL LIMITED.

Jodie I had one that disappeared like that, never mentioned on electoral rolls, probably changed name. Makes it hard for us researchers. Good luck with finding him.

Kim

To MarieCeleste,
Eliza Belle died in 1964 and Eric disappeared soon after,that's why their probably not on the ER's.yes Reginald and Ronald were related to Eric.
cheers Jodie


To Kim,i guess i'll probably never know of his fate,probably went bush to die or something.

Jodie it is not really fair to start this thread when you had already asked here
