Thanks Jenn, very mysterious !!

And thanks JAP, I too live on the outskirts of Adelaide, and I will at some stage get to the library but I will be in hospital next week for major surgery which will slow me down for about 8 weeks. Then I will get my wheels back and be able to get around to these places.
Please can you tell me what is a transcpription agent, where do I find one? I think I will go along on this line first.
Many thanks

Thanks Jenn, (tropicalj) I will think about your suggestion and maybe try that some time down the track. I almost give up searching and then I think of something else. Heavens, I've been doing this type of thing since 2001 and still haven't made any progress.

Always grateful for any suggestions

Cheers Joy

Also many thanks to you regross, I think she made a deliberate mistake with my name, because at this time all divorces were printed in the paper. She was using her maiden name in the town so the local community wouldn't know who it referred to when the divorce (for desertion) was reported, and by this time she already had another child, less than 1 year old.  Having thought long and hard about this, its the only reason I can come up with.
Also regarding your other posting, The name I have for my father came from a copy of the marriage certificate, written in copy-book handwriting. It definitely says Larry. Some one else told me that it is an unusual name and maybe it should be Lawrence, but I can only go by what the legal document tells me.
Thanks for looking.
Cheers Joy

Thanks Robyn, I was only a baby when I was left with Grandmother, and the name on my birth cert. is Ronda Joy. My father's name Ronald and mother's name Joyce, so thats how I got my name. Named by my G,mother. I was told that my Mum wanted to call me Rosemary but there was a big objection to that, and Gmother got her way.
My Uncle (still living) provided me with the only photo I've ever seen of him, but not until after Mum passed on. He also told me that he was  the biggest fibber he ever met ! So who knows about this Mrs. Armstrong ? She may have been a figment of his imagination.
Many thanks,  Joy
