> They married in Sydney in 1914, believed to have had a son called Royston None of the 3 MADDOX births in NSW over the 1914 and 1918 period looks even close by any criteria. The publically searchable NSW birth index stops at 1918. There are no NSW marriages for a Royston Maddox up to 1945 and only one for a Roy Maddox... 12325/1944 MADDOX ROY JOHN CLIVE (married) WILSON DESMA MARY JOYCE REDFERN Cheers, Bill Sydney, Australia

> They married in Sydney in 1914 Here's the NSW BDM index entry for their marraige... 5474/1914 MADDOX HERBERT H H [married] RICHARDS NELLIE [at] NEWTOWN Cheers, Bill

Hi Bill Thanks for that, but I have the marriage cert for Herbert & Nelly already. I also have Herbert's service records from the NAA website. The last address given on those was Crows Nest, NSW in 1922. Nelly was my grandmother's sister, and in one of grandma's photo albums I found some photos of Nelly taken in Manly Beach, Xmas Day 1965. One is of Nelly & a young girl, on back it says grand-daughter Lynne. I would estimate that the girl was about 15 years old, ie born c1950 - therefore, Royston's marriage could have been after 1945, closer to 1950 (the online index only goes to 1945 unfortunately). His name (Royston) was supplied by another family member, as was the name of his wife (Betty). No sign of Royston's birth in the index, so he must have been born after 1918 (quite possible as Herbert wasn't discharged from the Navy until 1919). Charles Ernest Richards was the brother of Nelly & my grandmother. I have a photo of him and his wife, with 'love from Flo & Charlie' written on the back. Also have some more photos of Charles & Nelly together in Australia. Charles & Flo had 2 kids - Ronald & Constance Joyce. They both had families, but I have checked all the NSW marriages up to 1945 for these names and haven't found either of them so they too must have married after 1945. Bit of a common name, Richards, which doesn't make it easy! Richard
