I am researching the Henderson family on behalf of Bryan who is Margaret Lucy COOK's younger son.  In June 1944, she divorced her husband Ernest Albert HENDERSON on the grounds of his adultery with Kathleen Maud James whose husband was also granted a decree nisi at the same time. (Ref: Chronicle Thursday 29 June 1944, p25 - sourced through Trove).  I haven't yet found out when (or if) Margaret married Ernest Sydney (Dick) ROLES but he was a great step father to Bryan. We would welcome any information or contact to further this research. Lyn Clark

Hi there Lyn Clark,

Welcome to Rootschat,  I am not a family member but I have contributed to this thread.   I notice that Ernest Sydney ROLES ADF file is still not digitised, but I do know that quite often those service files contain items of correspondence from family members.    After re-reading back over the thread, I can see that several of us have suggested obtaining his file.

Here's the link to the National Archives of Australia http://www.naa.gov.au/collection/using/search/index.aspx

http://www.ww2roll.gov.au/Veteran.aspx?ServiceId=R&VeteranId=1205484    At this link you can see that Margaret Lucy ROLES was nominated as his next of kin.

Cheers,  JM

Yes, the paperwork is very interesting.  Bryan obtained a set when he visited Canberra not long ago.  It seems to me, that Dick may have been a ward of the state or something like that as at the time of his enlistment in 1940, it is noted that his certificate from the Child Welfare Dept had been sighted (beside his date of birth entry).  He listed as his next of kin : Ernest Ralph Iverack (who lived with Hilda May Iverack at 18 Nicholson St North Sydney)  At this stage, I have no idea what the relationship was with Mr Iverack.  At the end of his WW2 service, Margaret Lucy Roles is listed as his NOK and again when he applied to join the Reserve Air Force after the war.

Hi  and welcome to rootschat

It would be helpful  for your research  to  obtain  a copy  of  the  first marriage of Ernest Syndey Roles.  He  would  have supplied any  details  re  his  birth.

It  is  cheaper to use a transcation  agent  than  the BDM department  and  you will slo  get it a lot  quicker too.
