We are looking for the birth father of my dad‚ as well as the identity of his paternal grandmother. My father was adopted in 1961. In trying to find his father‚ we have found his paternal grandfather named Richard Austin George Hides has had an illegitimate son sometime between 1934 and 1941 in QLD (lived in areas such as Cloncurry‚ Townsville‚ Brisbane)‚ who fathered my dad. Through other DNA contacts we believe it is possible that Rosaline (Bessie) Clegg - born 1916‚ could be the mother in this situation. She was married in 1937‚ however was estranged from her husband from 6months into the marriage‚ as he was in and out of gaol and then away in the army. She lived in Brisbane and Ipswich it appears‚ and could have had a secret child at this time. My dad’s birth father may have been located in Cloncurry or Brisbane in the 1960s‚ where he met a nurse named Dawn Houston‚ who was dad’s birth mother (deceased).
