Looking for mother of Stanley John Leonard from Albury NSW

[chempat]

Didn't bother with census - too busy researching and transcribing Aussie info.  Have her parents' marriage.  Why buy the English birth certificate.  We have the family arriving in Vic and her father's digitised Will and Ellen's death naming her parents.

I agree with Wivenhoe -far more important to purchase this cert

Cando

Buy the certificate for full confirmation. If it is an ancestor, then all the information adds up.

The rest of my quote is omitted and this is the certificate to which I refer.

     WW2 service file has his birth 8 Sep 1889.

    Search NSW BDM using this date and it's a match.

I'm amazed that he could make it to WW2. There is a newspaper report of him having an accident with a milk van when on a motor bike. As A result he lost his leg...met his second wife a nurse when she nursed him in hosp. Edna Hille Wood. What roll would he have in the second ww.

Stanley was a fitter and turner and enlisted in the 18 Battalion Volunteer Defence Corps (Part time duty).

Thanks Dundee, Volunteer Defence Corp. I noticed he didn't go far at school, however after the first ww he studied engineering in England.
Mother is upset that he was so close and she had been told he had died. She marched in the Anzac day parade for him. What a cad he was.

Remember there are two sides to every marital breakdown.
