I am searching for the surname BRIDGES in Australia. My Foster grandmother Ellen Margaret Bridges was born about 1880 possibly in the UK or elsewhere in Australia. I can't find her birth record in NSW BDM. Her father was a solicitor practicing in Sydney in the late 1890s and early 1900s. He was probably born in the UK and trained as a solicitor there. I'm not sure of his given name it was possibly James or Oliver. I believe Ellen had a brother named Alfred.
