thanks for all the help, I will a few days to take it all in and research what I can.

There is a RH Hill with a New Zealand Service number, I doubt I can do anything about researching that until after the lock down.

Don't take it wrong if I go quite for a day or so as I do have health problems that I need to stay on top off.

Kind regards
Peter

Yes sorry about that not sure how I did that.
Mum left her first husband in March 1957 according to the docs I have. So She could have been using the Hill name after that point.
So that electoral roll was compiled sometime in early 1957. the election was 30 November 1957

Mum may have been using the Hill Surname back as far as 57, I know she was not divorced from her first hubby till 1964 there abouts, and she was still living with him up to at least march 57
I haven't actually seen the post you refer to so can not comment.

Peter,

On your NZ thread (linked earlier)  I notice that a kind NZ RChatter has typed up info showing your mum from the 1957 NZ electoral roll, with the surname HILL.  So I wonder why you are saying your Dad could have been anywhere in the years from his birth upto 1962.  Surely you mean up to 1957....

There is a death and funeral  indexed at the ryerson index that may well be the chap named in your opening post and in your topic heading.   

Clearly the chap who died this century in Australia cannot be your late Dad. 

Please do be careful to consider that in Australia the privacy of the individual includes their actual name, and that threads in Rootschat are easily found via Google. 

I have contacted my HILL relatives,  they have checked,  Sorry, but none have any knowledge of either of your parents and they mention that the surname is not unusual in NZ.

yes I have probably confused the whole issue, sorry. Also i am reasonably New to doing family tree and VERY new on this forum.  I have no idea what the  ryerson index  is...
Just to clarify things, Up to last week I believed (Harry) Harold Joseph Hill (Only ever heard him called Harry) was my father, mainly because of various documents etc which indicated he was. How ever the service number that appears on his Grave marker, appears to be completely made up by persons unknown. I guess your years could be right, I was born in 59 and I know the house was built in 62 and we moved in, Mum did not divorce from her first husband until 64 there about's.

This was the status until last week when it was suggested on the forum that my father may have been Ronald Harry Hill. Ages about right and looks. It was suggested he changed or stopped using that name and started using his middle name as his first.

That"s why I moved to the Australian part the forum, I have Ronalds NZ Service number (I think) and if I  can pin him down on dates etc I may have won the find your father lottery, Its just a matter of finding out where he was between his birth in 1920 and his court dates in NZ in 1940. Which be another reason he may changed his name. Bit of a bad boy.

Only tangible link I have to Australia is on TWO of the NZ Police Gazette entries Ronald is shown as native of Australia. Nothing more or less.

Also I wondered if the service number may have been Australian. But that is a VERY long shot as the marker also says 2nd NZEF.

Kind regards and trust you and your family are well.

yes you are correct, NZ Defence have already searched and came back that theres no body recorded with those names and or Number. I was wanting to check the Australian arm forces for that number.

Between 1920/21 and 1962 he could been any where at all.
I have no idea where that service number came from. NZ RSA Avondale have him on their honors board but no number.They keep NO records at all. So Some where along the way this number appeared, For the first time on the information from the undertaker then on the brass name plague at his grave.

The other name is possibly my father pre 1962. I know exactly where he was after 1962 until his death. Thats the easy part.

Ronald Harry HILL   born 1920 and most certainly in New Zealand by 1940, according to NZPG

two enties out of 5 in The NZPG gives him as a native of Australia.

While I am asking, how do you lookup WW2 army records in Australia?

Please,Thank you and trust you and your families are safe and well......
