I really seem to have started something - and am really grateful for all the replies.I particularly found the link to the Mid North Library very interesting.Now I have a really curly one and am hoping someone can help.In 1875 Edward Spokes served a short prison sentence (see NSW Police Gazette 27th Oct 1875 page 315) but after he served his time he seems to have completely vanished,I think he may have changed his name - going for either Doyle, his biological father or Lovelock after William Lovelock who married Fanny Spokes in 1858.If anyone has any info on this theory I would be very interested .Regards Jaro

Edward SPOKES d. 12/03/1910 PORT MACQUARIE #2927
Parents: John & Anne (actually they were his grandparents)

Why do you think this death given by Merlin in Reply#4 is not the correct man?

Jaro, the death certificate for
Edward SPOKES d. 12/03/1910 PORT MACQUARIE #2927
should give  information re his parents, marriage, children, birth place etc.  Of course, the validity of the record depends on the informant's knowledge/truthfulness and already we see that this registration has his grandparents' names (if it's the right person) instead of his parents.

A transcription is cheaper, and quicker than ordering the actual certificate.  Scroll down the following page to find a list of official transcription agents - similar service from each one and cost about $AU20
