Hi,


16831/1925 
KETLEY  Patrick
Father Adolphus 38 YRS N SYDNEY 
Mother Elizabeth  M 
Registered at NORTH SYDNEY

If Adolphus was 38 in 1925 then he would have to be born in 1887

Neville was born in 1887, so his dad couldn't have been born in 1887

We estimate our Adolphus is born around 1860

That Patrick must be the son of the other Adolphus Norman that I keep finding in my searches.

hi,
I think you will find it means Adolphus was in Sydney for  about 38 years, so arriving about 1887, not born 1887, I may stand corrected.
Does that fit better with your timeline?

Our Adolphus was married here in 1884

I can't find a  birth record for a Patrick Ketley on the BDM site
