Roy Dodd and Mary Elizabeth White

[Jamjar]

Are they meant to have met in Tasmania or Australia, and your grandfather born where?

Chempat, you made me chuckle. I often tease a friend who lives in Tassie telling her she doesn’t live in AUSTRALIA. Alas, not all Tasmanians see the humour in it.

Here (again) is the live link to the RAAF records mentioned earlier (at reply #12, )

http://soda.naa.gov.au/record/4262891/1 (23 pages) covering 1921-1948, he was born at sea near Boston USA 15 Sept 1899, nok M Dodd.      page 8 mentions he married on 5 January 1927.

The National Archives of Australia have another set of documents for James Marcus DODD, but although these are on open access, it would seem that no one has sought their digitisation.  They have his service no. as N107268, dob as 15 Sept 1900, born at sea, England, nok Mary DODD. 
http://soda.naa.gov.au/record/5680351/1   The B884 series is for CMF personnel dossiers. 

JM  ADD,  I have edited this post,  Matthew had already provided that soda link, my apologies for part duplicating his fine efforts.
