Dear Lorraine,

Thanks for your e-mail, I'm sorry I haven't much information at present, I
know my mother was born at Islington on the 9th August, 1918 and was
registerd in the September quarter 1918. Her father was Henry Edward DENHAM
and I believe he was born at Somerset but not confirmed, her mother's name
was Ellen Spencer but I don't know were she was born. My next step is to
get a copy of Mum's birth certificate and also a marriage certificate of her
parents so I may be able to trace back further.
Bye for now.
Joy in Sunny Tweed Head, New South Wales.
