I can't find his birth reg neither Dave. Could he possible altered his year of birth to join up?? QLD index only go to 1922 and maybe he was born 1923?
You got a name for his mother?

George could have been born later as there is a big gap to Peter.

The only births im seeing is
Thomas 1917
June 1919

 

[DaveHam9]

Yes, that's right.

George senior only had one brother and he died in France in 1817 so Peter has to be a son of George. I can't see any other way he fits in.

A neighbour with a high pressure cleaner is due soon so I'll be away for awhile.
