When you say "he" emigrated to Australia - does that mean he went without his family?

On the face of it, it looks like Ronald was born out of marriage and his mother was Lilian Storey who later married George Alfred Bellott



Name:George Alfred Bellott

Probate Date:9 Jun 1956

Registry:London, England

Death Date:11 Apr 1956

Death Place:Surrey, England

To widow Lilian - £828 3s 8d


Of course to prove this is correct or not, you would need the birth certificate for Ronald



Births Jun 1912

hi, thankyou to everyone for their replies, I had some information on my uncle,but not address in Australia, for which I thankyou,but the reply on his being born out of wedlock, his mother on his birth certificate is rose storey, who later married Vivian grey tupper. I believe she was in service, so that may account for his birth, have tried to search for census of that time, but not available yet.
