The SWAN mother to SWAN and REYNOLDS children might be Ethel or Edith, given abbreviation is Ettie....eg Eedie for Edith....Ettie of Ethel..sound similar.

"His name was John William Reynolds, his gives his parents name on his marriage certificate as John Reynolds(deceased) and Ethel Swan."

He married as John REYNOLDS, 1922.

Why are you naming him as John William REYNOLDS?

Where do you see him as John William REYNOLDS?

Where and when did he die?

Just summing up the births of John and his siblings:
1898/19252 Albert no father  Ethel M mother Bathurst
1901/32896 Jack no father Ethel M mother Lithgow
1903/4259 Heba no father Ettie mother Lithgow 
1904/13503 Victoria no father Ettie mother Lithgow
1907/6141 George no father Ethel M mother Newtown

Erin, you say that “the family story is that his father might not have been aboriginal but Ethel may have been”. As the father’s name is never recognised in the birth records, perhaps he (or both he and Ettie) was aboriginal.

It’s a possibility they both were aboriginal. I’ve ordered John or Jack’s birth certificate so we will see how we go.
