Hi,
This information is very interesting, unfortunately my father who was Helen Emily's grandson passed away in July this year.
Could you give me the details of who i need to contact as it is possible i might be able to get a family member who is able to give the required DNA.
Thanks
Rachel

Hi Jap John and Helen were married in Norfolk district of norwich in uk. I have found a listing for a marriage in 1912 but can't view certificate.
Helen's certificate states she lived in Australia for approx 30 years.
Johns certificate shows he was born in Balmain
Death certificate gives childrens names as
John Terence always called Terry
Norah Kathleen (Leanora)
Dennis Woodleigh
Patricia Beatrice
Rosemary Vilma
Cheers Rachel

Today i got some very interesting mail.
I now have the death certificates for Leanora's parents.
Also for the record i have a copy of my Dad's birth certificate and it lists that she was born in Canberra, NSW and was 24 in 1945 when my Dad was born.

Now for the great grandparents
John Thomas Cross
Died in Canberra in 1962 aged 79 years
Place of Birth Balmain, NSW
His parents are listed as John Cross and Hestia Cross (no maiden name on certificate)

Helen Emily Cross Nee Barnes
Died in Canberra in 1942 aged 59 years
Place of Birth Norfolk, USA
Her parents are listed as Arthur Barnes and Harriet Barnes nee Govet

They were married in the Uk on her certificate in says Norwich and on his London.

So i now know why nobody knew anything about Helen's family.
Any help from here would be greatly appreciated how do i go about getting copies of Helen's birth certificate and the marriage certificate for them.

Cheers to one and all Rachel

Hi one and all,
one of the reasons i ordered the death certificates is because i really have no other information on either Helen Emily or John Thomas hopefully fingers crossed it Will give me both of there parents names as i am not 100% sure on John Thomas parents names and i have no idea who Helen Emily's parents were.
I have tried to contact my Aunt various times but i don't think she is that interested as she still hasn't got back to me but i will try again because she should be able to tell me at least where  and when my grandmother was born which should make things a little easier.
Anyway lets see what these death certificates give me.
Rachel :)
