Hi,
I am trying to find to find birth details for my grandfather
Harry Hoadley. I have his Army records from the 1st world war and he gave his birth place as Inverness Scotland. There is no birth date, but when he joined up in 1914 his age was listed as 31 & 4/12 which I take to mean 31 and 4 months. I think this would mean he was born about April 1883. He married Florence May Goff whilst overseas on duty in London. They were married on 1/1/1918. On the marriage certificate he is named Henry John Hoadley. I know they came to Australia in 1919. Their first child Norah was born in London in 1919. Their 2nd child, my father, John Hoadley was born in Melbourne in 1922.
I have searched the Australian records for him, I have also searched the Scottish and English records and can't seem to find him. My family tree isn't going very far without some information on his origins. I would be most grateful for any assistance or suggestions about where to try next. As you can tell I am fairly new to this, but I was able to search the Goff side of the family fairly extensively. I would just love to know where Harry Hoadley came from.
Thanks.
Lois Winder
