Hi I'm not sure if you'll get this (of ir you already have this information) since it's been a while since your original pos! I'm researching Sylvester (my great great great grandfather) and Fanny, and I've found that Sylvester was born in the West Indies, and Fanny was an Indigenous Australian. Nora married a man named William Edward Newbury (who faught in Galipoli and died), and they had three children Nellie, Norman and Constance, who is my great-grandmother. Any other information you can add to this in your searches would be greatly appreciated! i'm researching this as part of my University course (especially our Indigenous heritage).

All the best,
Rebecca
