Norfolk / Re: George Barnard Cley next the sea

Hi I have recently came back from a visit to Cley and I've been talking to my Uncle who said that his father was brought up by his family and also lived with a Barnard family in Cley. Not sure if it is the right one that you are looking for

 :) Good news I'm pretty sure I found one of his brothers who is Eric Lee born 18 February 1913 and died 30 December 1994 as the photo that I found is very simular in looks and have some resembulances.

 :) thank you for all your help. I have been able to get in contact with Keith's (Ronald's brother)grandchild and they also cannot find information due to a lot of confusion with their father name. He is on the understanding that their mother used her surname of Makin and that she died in childbirth and the boy was called Eric Lee who was registered with only the fathers name. All too confusing and a lot of headaches ???
I will be looking into the history of the Ununderra railway crossing as their sister worked there as a gatekeeper so hopefully can find some information from there. Will keep soldiering on slowly and hopefully can find some information. Thank you for everyone who helped me  :D

 :) Have found out that two of Ronald's brothers names were Keith and Charlie but apparently one of Ronald's brothers changed his name and I am hoping that it wasn't Keith or Charlie as there was quite a few brothers and sisters. :D

 :) Thank you Jorose this is correct she did marry a William Bird and I thought the same thing about the town of Hopetoun in Victoria too, maybe he grew up there or like you said used the name after Earl Hopetoun.

 :) I know that Joseph George Fubbs is a different person and it definitely is Joseph William Fubbs. Unfortunately it looks like he has gone of the grid maybe he used a different name which could be possible giving that he already had done this.

 :) Hi Neil. I have no idea if this is the same person. It is very frustrating  >:( trying to do the research. It is known that Ronald came from Chinese but it is also thought that he was aboriginal decent too? Unsure of where to go from here. :D
