   Henry Nelson. Born. 1887. Died 1888. Age 8 months
   William George Nelson. Born 1890. ??
   Leslie Nelson. Born 1898. ??

   Quite a gap between some      Dalek.  🙄😬

Majm.    Dalek. again. 🙄😬.  I’m embarrassed  to say that, as I know I was on this post a LONG time and drove some people mad.  Didn’t mean to. And I apologise to all those that shrieked when they saw my name come up.  But.    As you are well aware I’ve been trying to find evidence of where Leslie Nelson was born.  I know his DOB was 1898.  But there is no record of “ where” he was born.   In fact the SA. BMD. Have no record of a Leslie Nelson born with that date. Or the parents I supplied.   I noticed yesterday on Family Search there has been a Merge on his name on that site  by a certain member.  I don’t know how to find that merge.  I have notified the person who placed it but no reply    Any help please.  Dalek.  🌺

Hi,

I don't know much about family search, but I will try to find out more and get back to you.  Hopefully there will be other RChatters with a far better understanding of family search.

Thanks Majm.   I’m not  Familia with the workings of F/S either.  Have enough trouble here. No offence meant ..it’s me I’m talking about. Easily confused lately as you well know.   But appreciative
Thank you for your help.

Neal 1961.    Sorry Neal.  Not him.  His wife was Hazel.  Daughter Marjorie. And son Jack.  I looked at that. But his brother William George Nelson enlisted in WW11.  Who’s wife was May Cragie.   I saw a Nelson who was killed in France but not sure who. Will look into that  thanks fir your help.

Hi Neale,

Here is the link to his marriage.  https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XTCV-N96  (its actually image 383, not 384 that the link seems to take you to)

 If I want to ask about another Nelson family member do I ask here or start another thread. It’s a daughter of James. Leslies sister.

I think this is very likely to be YOUR Leslie that Dundee has suggested,  the date of birth, and it is registered in Adelaide, South Australia.

......but having seen a record of  Leslie Nelson with mother Grigg.....

As already mentioned, GRIGG was the maiden surname of Hazel's mother, not Leslie's.

I think it is highly likely that Leslie was not the biological child of James and Mary Jane.

As a matter of interest, there was a birth registered in Adelaide for a Leslie SMITH, son of Catherine SMITH, no father named. The date of birth is the same as Leslie NELSON - 15 Apr 1898.

Also,  before we move onto Leslie's sister, perhaps we can just pause for a day or so, in case the fresh eyes from Neale or others reading this thread can look with new specs at the dilemma.
