Thank you for this. Muchly appreciated as always.

Yes, I've seen "years" change too. One of my Aussie forebears mysteriously changed from 1888 on her birth and marriage certificates to 1891 when she died. Again, why remains a mystery really.

Winifred's sister Doris certainly lost 3 or 4 years on her second marriage certificate in 1961 for the reason of her husband being younger. Maybe it was a family trait!

Thanks again.

Yes, that's definitely them. I just found a death record for the first little Philip Roper - Philip Edward - registered in the Sept 1911 quarter. So that's why they named a second son Philip as well.

Re Winifred's birth date. She was baptised in July. Maybe that's where some confusion arose.#

Cheers.
