This could be John Reynolds (the father) - the the Narrandera District

There is no son "John William" among the names of this John REYNOLDS' sons.  :-\

Pretty sure it would be Wallerawang, originally called Waller-owang by the native Wiradjuri people; and later Charles Darwin used the spelling Wallerowang. And as Neale1961 has found in his first reference, the town is about 100 miles west of Sydney. Neale’s second reference is to a property name, so probably just a coincidence (unless the property was named after a spoken reference to the district or for the aboriginal meaning of the word, ‘place near wood and water, or plenty of water’; the marriage certificate says Wallerong, NSW so I think it would be referring to a town or district, not a property.

Yes, I realised that. I just wondered (as suggested by erinb1983) if he was an illegitimate son, and part Aboriginal, he may not have been widely known about / or discussed.

I don’t think that’s John Reynolds the father in that article.

That birth of Jack Swan I have considered to be him, I may need to order the certificate. Also when he is married in 1922 he says his father is deceased already at that point. I will upload the full certificate when I can get to my computer (love school holidays 🫤). He married Dorothy Kathleen Janes she sometimes went by Dorothy and sometimes Kathleen.

I see that Dorothy died in 1988 and on death notice in the SMH 10.10.1988 husband is listed as " Jack deceased".

so he must have died between 1988 and 1949 ( the last I can find them both at Fivedock on E Roll)
