Member Since: January 2006 Posts: 10 Send Message	Kenneth john bowers DOB around 28apr 1924 Melbourne st kilda. Mother was Blanche e bowers. At around 18mths old he was placed into Sutherland homes for adoption. Blanche married john fletcher in 1930, Robert fletcher was born in 1931 I'm trying to find Kenneth father, birth certificate has him "unknown ". Is there any records as to where I might find this info? He was adopted by jane & Daniel gaff . I have there details. Many thanks for help.

Member Since: May 2004 Posts: 4 065 Send Message	This is a different family Maddie. Not related to Blanch as far as I can tell. I was wondering if the Kenneth you were searching was actually the one above, son of Robert & Martha. He had a brother Robert which you mentioned. I thought his was the info you were starting out with and that you were just following a lead of Blanch as his possible mother. Maybe I have the wrong end of the stick tho. Do you have any more info on Kenneth? Does the enlistment above with death in 1979 look like it could be him?

Member Since: May 2004 Posts: 4 065 Send Message	If this is the Kenneth you are looking for... FLETCHER KENNETH ARTHUR : Service Number - NX167778 : Date of birth - 02 May 1924 : Place of birth - DULWICH HILL NSW : Place of enlistment - CHARLESTOWN NSW : Next of Kin - FLETCHER MARTHA then I think this is his death in NSW: 8520/1979 FLETCHER KENNETH ARTHUR [father] ROBERT HERRON [mother] MARTHA HARRISON i.e. next of kin was his mother Martha Unavailable
