Yes, thanks Cherilyn. I have these now - been busy in the past week!). A problem I have is I cannot find Charlotte Margaret Mary's birth. Can find a Charlotte Margaret Victoria Conlon's birth (variation in both christan and surname) but I want to be sure the two are the same people. Most trees assume they are but I am now on a hunt to find evidence either way before I accept that.

Have ordered marriage certs etc so will also wait to see what they give me but I think the Edward John 'Gins' mentions might be Jack her father. Many thanks.

I am trying to find relatives who know anything about Merle Monica Chant and her ancestors. She is believed to be from the Dalby/Warwick area of Queensland. She married William Raymond White in 1940 in Young NSW. Think her father's name was Jack/John and he and his wife lived in the Coffs Harbour area of Sydney in the early 1950's.
