Thanks Kelly! I have got the Avoca and Districts Historical Society researching for me too. I did find a Lawrence Gordon Archer Christie who did seem to fit some of the info we had (as Robert apparently was an 'alias' he used) but was told unequivocally that he was not the person I was looking for by family on ancestry lol. Not sure if it was because I was illegitimate and an 'embarrassment' to the family. I just want to find out if I have any siblings from his side of my family. I have already found 5 siblings on my mum's side (contacted one sister who hung up on me and two who have already passed on). It would be nice to find a sibling who is willing to at least acknowledge my existence :( Will keep plodding along...thanks for your reply Kellie
Cheers
Robbie
