Trees on Ancestry give Herbert's parents as Henry Parker Wiseman and Rachael Williams ?
Henry Parker's birthyear is shown as 1841 Australia - no dates for Rachael and unfortunately no other data for Herbert other than his spouse and 1 child which you will know about

I will have to try to find a marriage record for Henry Parker Wiseman & Rachael. Do you know what information is found on Australian birth/marriage/death certs? i.e. is address recorded - if so it might help me work out if these are the right people.

Many thanks

This death would go with the above parents names:-

10736/1899 WISEMAN EDYE P HENRY P RACHEL REDFERN

and this one:-

4378/1900 WISEMAN ARCHIBALD H HENRY P RACHEL SYDNEY

.........now living in Sydney!

Thanks, this could be relevant & is worth me investigating

Couldn't see a birth for Herbert, but did find this:-

5162/1876 WISEMAN MAUDE INA ADELE HENRY PARKER RACHAEL REDFERN

.....maybe not relevant but only birth coming up for NSW with mother Rachael?

I'm from the UK and am trying to find information on my great-grandfather, Herbert Wiseman. Herbert served in the Australian Imperial Force in WW1 and came to the UK where he met my great-grandmother. I have obtained his service record from Australia, but can find no more about him. His record shows that he ws 36 when he enlisted in 1915. His next of kin was given as his mother - Rachael Wiseman - and their address was 'corner of Firth Street and Forrest Road, Arncliffe, Sydney, NSW'. His record shows that he returned to Sydney in 1920. However, I can find no further information on Herbert or his mother. Does anyone know anything about them or can anyone makes any suggestions of where/how I can look for information.

Many thanks
