I have written to aus.gov. and requested the names of the parents, or where they were born before I purchased

Hi Heather
I do not know which department of the Government of Australia you wrote to, but I am not surprised the response was negative.

The  process for discovering the birthplace of your people is outlined in my reply. Seeking others who have your people on their tree is unreliable  as a method of research unless the CERTIFICATE can actually be sighted.

It would have been helpful if you had given more information with your initial request.  I have linked a previous thread.

If you wish to find more information ie their dates and places of birth and their parents' names, you need to purchase either a marriage or death certificates - transcriptions are available in NSW.  Sue has given you details.  We can only help you with information in the public area.

Cheers
Cando

Buried together as indicated by Sue, with a little more info which supports the death registration posted on my last post.

ALLAN Jane Ann  77 years  Buried 11 Nov 1964 Presbyterian Section 5G  Grave#001367
ALLAN John  77 years  Buried 16 Jul 1965   Presbyterian Section 5G  Grave#001367

There is no headstone.

I have searched the passenger records and all I could find was a Jeanie REID 26 years, domestic departing London on the ORVIETO 21 Nov 1913, country of last permanent residence, Scotland.  She was ticketed to Sydney.

Cheers

So, you and my dad would be second cousins once removed? Betty had 5 children but only 4 survived. Tony, Edward, Bill and Lee. My uncle Tony resembled is grand father John. I'm keen to learn more about the history of the Allan family if you have more. I'm planning on visiting Scotland in a couple of years.

[MicMass]

Thx. So where does the line go from there? The Allan side I mean. I know they lived in Elgin and I have seen some od the old photos of the thatched roof house they lived in, but who were they're ancestors and where were they from. My great grand mother was a Reid and her mother was a McKenzie but what about the Allans. Were they part of the McDonald of Clanranald clan etc?
