I haven't been able to find 3 of my grandfather Robert Mullen's siblings,
two of whom were born in Strathalbyn and one possibly in Nth Adelaide. The
five I found were registered under three variations of spelling. On the
other side of the family I cannot find my great grandmother Ellen Elizabeth
Armstrong or any of her family. My great aunt spoke of her Auntie Annie,
whose birth I can't find, but I did find her marriage. They were supposed to
have been born in Manoora. I dream of going to Adelaide and searching teh
Catholic Archives one day, hopefully they'll be there.
