On the copy of Clyde Williams Birth certificate it should tell you marriage details for his parents and their names.
If marriage that Wizard found for William Rolfe & Elizabeth J Naftel is correct then a copy will give you details of
both Parties
Full name,
Birthplace.
Age,

Father & Mothers name,

and if not born in Australia should give you how long in colony.
and the marriage that Wizard found for Clyde William is registered as Canterbury NSW on NSW BMD
