Hi Cherilyn

Also would it be possilbe for you to look up 1936,1937,1943,1949,1958,1980 Austrailian Electorals,maybe that would give some idea who he was living with.
during those years mentioned Please
Thankyou you so much

Hi Chris.
What a geart day for finding out my information.
I noticed that Charles Oswald Owers is living with Herbert so maybe that is his son.?1936 E/R

Anyone living with him on1937,1943,just interested to see if he had any children by Henrietta Barnsley.

How would I find out Herbert A Owers Army Info.
In England a trip to the local Librury and look on Ancestry.co.uk would be our answer!!
I will have to piece all the information together .

So Herbert AOwers came to Australia in 1927
married Henrietta Barnsley 1930 Sydney NSW
Served in the Australian Army/ Navy WW2

Then married again 1947 to Valda Hope Fraser Sydney NSW

Thankyou for all your help,itis really kind of you all ,Hope to hear from you again
