401. Tonirussell : I am searching for my biological father, who may have passed away, as he was older than my mother, but i am interested in finding his 2 children, my step brother and step sister, as i am an only child. My mother was 17 when i was born, and my grandparents (mother parents) adopted me. I was then adopted back to my mother and stepfather in 1970. My bio father was listed on my original birth cert, but my mother wrote a letter stating he was not my father, as the police were going to arrest him, as she was underage. I contacted him in 1991 and he sent me the letter. He then told me he had 2 children, a boy born approx 1975 and a girl born approx 1971. I do not know thier names, but my fathers name was Stuart Irvine and his wifes name was Amy Frances Irvine (nee Grainger) They were married in Feb 1966, a year after i was born. Thier address at the time i contacted him was 7 Robinson Place, Baulkham Hills NSW. My birth mothers name is Marlene Emma Reynolds (nee Jackson) and her parents who adopted me originally were Gustave and Norma Jackson all from Rockhampton. I was born in RBWH, where my mother remained until she turned 18. The name on my current birth certificate after being adopted back to my mother and step father in 1970/71 is Toni Marree Reynolds. Thank you
Toni Russell
