Thanks Trish.

Tony..... 'Trove' shows 'Cpl Ron Alfred Speechly' ..'second son of Mr & Mrs A Speechly' NSW ......became engaged to Jocelyn Iris Blanning Dwellingup WA . They married in 1943 and had a daughter Janice Carol Speechly 3/4/1944 in Perth WA.
(This Ronald Alfred Speechly d 1970 NSW -shows parents Alfred & Clara Speechly - their first born son must've been 'John Amos Speechly 1908')
