Thank you wizard for your work. I am now trying to trace the ancestors of my grandfather Charles George Gregory b1911 at Parramatta Hospital NSW Australia. The websites I have researched on have no known record of grandad's parents. Can you suggest where I may start looking?

Cheers
Lynnew

Hi Wizard28
Thankyou so much for these links. Harry Watsford was a name that came up in a recent conversation that I had with mum. Harry is my mum's uncle by default, and her memory of him is very hazy. I can't remember him in my young years, and having dementia has also strained mum's memory as well. Ryde and Parramatta are two suburbs in western Sydney and played an important part in my early childhood years.
