I'm looking for any information on Sydney Arthur Goard and his family.

I now know that Sydney Arthur was the 4th in the family
Frederick - 27 May 1907 in Willoughby NSW
Leslie William - 18 July 1911 in Turramurra NSW
Alfred - 15 July 1915 in Turramurra NSW
Sydney Arthur- 5 July 1918 in Turramurra NSW
As far as i know there where also 2 girls
Mavis and Marie.

The story goes that when Sydney was a young boy his mother put him and Alfred in one orphanage and placed Frederick and Leslie in another while keeping the 2 girls with her Sydney never saw his mother after then.

Surnames: GOARD HEWETT
Sydney was born in 1918 in Turramurra Sydney NSW
Was the 5th of 6 children born to Frederick Goard and Beatrice Ellen Hewett.
The stoory goes that Frederick left Beatrice, to survive she placed the 4 boys in Parramatta Boys Home(not sure of the name) and kept the girls with her never to be seen by the boys again, until Sydney was a young man he won the Lottery Beatrice returned to take his winnings and promptly disapeared again.
Does this ring a bell to anyone?!?!?!
Love to know more about this family

Hello Jacky
I have just discovered that my great-grandmother (Mary Ann Clark) had a relationship with Arthur John Brown, that produced about 6 children. I had found out only in April of this relationship and this week of the children.
Mary had married William Arthur Finch in 1911 at Hillston, NSW and they had four children. It looks like the marriage ended around 1917 but there appears to be no divorce.
I have no details of the Goard family and the whereabouts of the Homes for Boys
