hi, thank you so much,i would really appreciate that. i did find out that ethel had put sidney smith as the father on my dads record at the wooloowin childrens home.i searched all the names on the electoral roll for that time and the only one i could find was sidney jennings smith . he was married and a train driver. on his birth certificate she put father unknown? so i dont know if she just made that name up or not. she had another boy in 1926 and adopted him out to the same childrens home when he was just born. his name was william richard newberry. my dad was given up when he was 6 years old. that must of been so upsetting for him. the 2 boys spent many years searching for each other , by the time william got some information about my dad, he had already passed away. 1982. look forward to hear from you dee :)
