Hi John

On-line births for NSW stop at 1907. However, if you live in Australia, and can get to a library or Family Research Centre, there are micro-fiche records for NSW Births up to 1919-1920?

Though, some one here may have those records at home?

Just did a quick bit of searching.

Only found one Roy Hood married in NSW up to 1956.

Roy Henry George Hood m.1938 to Joyce Weir, Sydney.

Found death of Roy Henry George Hood 5/11/1987 aged 68 (b.1919) - Sydney Morning Herald 7/11/1987.

Could be him - correct age, and has middle name of George - after father?

Les,
Thanks for info. I have ordered Roys marriage cert a couple of days ago. Death ref useful. Got to wait for Roys marriage as I live in the Uk. Hoping someone has births at home from 1907 onwards.

Hi John

A couple of things.

1) How did you order the Marriage Certificate? If direct from the BDM it will be a copy of the original, however, for half the price (good if you want a lot), you can get them from a transcriber, who type up a transcription from the original. There are 3 licensed to do so at NSW BDMs.

2) As you live in UK, and if worse comes to worse, and no-one has a record at home, I can visit my local library and check the NSW births, which I think go to 1919. Not quite sure when I'm going next, however, if need be send a PM in the next couple of days to remind me to go.

Les usually a Aussie chatter kindly looks up the births to 1918 and I think John is hoping he will notice the request.

Cheers

Read your message Cando - thanks.

If you are sure Roy Henry George Hood married to Joyce is your man - good news.

Found him in the Army b.7 Jan 1914, next of kin Joyce. Try this site
http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/script/name.asp#searchtabs and enter his name, and it will bring up his details.

I have the NSW CD which goes to 1918 and I can find no sign of Roy Hood    I've looked at every person called Hood born 1914

There are 3 records for him on the national archives - One has been digitised & it says he was born 1915

I will look a little further.  Very strange? unless he was born after 1918 - but there doesn't seem alot of reasons to lie. He wasn't too young for WWII.

http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/recordsearch.aspx   - search as a guest for the archives record.

Might be worth checking Victoria? Maybe he thought he was born in NSW? Or maybe I'm not looking very well. No doubt Bob will appear to check for me

Edit: I don't see him in 1915 either

Do you have any idea of parent names?  Very strange? unless he was born after 1918 - but there doesn't seem alot of reasons to lie. He wasn't too young for WWII.

It appears parents George and Ada marriage Ref Year is 1914, which might have been a bit too close for comfort for a birth in January, 1914, if you get what I mean
