Medals Found Corp Myles NX80730

[majm]

 

AWM nominal roll says HABERFIELD    

Electoral Rolls
1943 listing Robert Henry MYLES is at 62 Wattle St, Haberfield NSW also others with same surname at same address, but they may be living, (21 and over to enrol to vote) so I won't mention names...

1949 and 1954 Robert Henry still at that address, so too ONE other (Annie, after reading red notice), suggesting that a likely daughter has left home perhaps to marry ...

Cheers JM

Some further info

1943 ER has Nora MYLES also at 62 Wattle St Haberfield, together with Annie and Robert 
1945 a Nora Myles marriage was registered at Ashfield District (Haberfield right next door to Ashfield)
Ryerson Index has notice 26 Apr 1995 SMH for Nora Lumb’s death 23 April 1995, late of Kenthurst and Cherrybrook.

Very Big Thanks for all your input
hopefully we will get the result we are after
will keep you informed

1954 ER
Nora Lumb and likely husband were at 62 Lansdowne Rd, Merrylands, he a clerk.

I think Nora's husband also served in WWII, perhaps NX 7766, born 1917 and I have not found likely death notice at Ryerson...

Cheers,  JM

Kenthurst & Cherrybrook are also close the area of Dural & Castle Hill so it looks to be the right family 

There's a couple of possible Myles & Lumb's in phone book close to the mentioned areas

Could well do, Merlin 

I think Nora may have been widowed in 1984, Ryerson has :

Robery Vacey LUMB death 11 July 1984, late of Kenthurst, SMH 13 July 1984.

I think transcript error for Robery 

Cheers,  JM

Robert Vacey LUMB's WWII records are digitised  he was living in Haberfield when he enlisted 

naa.gov.au barcode ref is 4884103.  As I understand it, WWII records are not digitised unless it is confirmed that the person is deceased, at least when I sought my late father's I certified that he was deceased and it was part of the process before they even asked for the fees to digitise the records.
