If someone could help on the OTHER thread, it would be brilliant

I rather think that one of the daughters mentioned in the first post on here was Marian's mother

If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will let me know

There are family trees at Mundia (Ancestry) that have the family and also have many photographs in them.

Four trees show Dorothy ... they show that she married and had two children, and grandchildren, but they do not show the husband's name.

No, I am mistaken, one of the trees shows his name, and he died in 2002.

Dorothy died in 2007.

They also show, for instance, Gertrude Farmborough who died in 1957, the same information as Gins gave above, and Dorothy's parents Joseph Bailey and Gertrude Eva Edwards.

And they show Sylvia's husband Norman Harry Bradford.

Norman's death notice was published in the Adelaide Advertiser in 2005, but there is no death notice for Sylvia, and the trees do not show her name, so Sylvia may be living.

Marian these links should work I hope.

except ... I am pretty sure you have to be signed in to Mundia to see them.

It is free to register there and see trees and also to send messages.

But Marian, the very easiest thing might be for somebody to contact the people who own those trees, on your behalf, and ask them to get in touch with you.

Since I am already signed up at Mundia I could volunteer to do that.
(It could also be done through Ancestry I think.)

I could send your email address to the people who have those trees and ask them to write to you.

Or I am sure any of the people who have helped so much would be happy to do it, as well.

Marian, just click on my name and send me a message with your email address.

Or, if you are already in touch with someone else here who could do that, send it to them.

I am going to see whether I can save the pictures of Dorothy from the trees and send them to you!

Please let me know if I can help.

Chris :)

I have sent Marian a message with images of the family trees, I hope she will be able to see them.

Marian, just click on Messages up at the top to see it.

I also passed on the hint to make up for our faulty memories at this site ... click on My Threads :-)

(edited because I think the other information I mentioned was in the wrong place in Australia)

by looking for other information on line, I have found a telephone listing for a grandchild of Sylvia

I will look for more family listings and send them on to Marian now.
