    Are you aware of Australian newspapers on line - Trove?
    https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/search?adv=y

    Plenty there re. Atkinsion. One item mentions a brother, Robert Henry, 1st town clerk of Newcastle, and father Robert, Sergeant in the 28th Regt of Foot, arrived Australia 1838.

    I'd spotted Glady's link with the RFA after checking out New Zealand's papers on line - Papers Past.

    Is the full name Clyde Gibson Anderson?
    I can see that name in NZ newspapers and also a Surrey birth registration 1881.

    Check early Trove (1838-1851) for Robert Tighe.

    Yes have been into TROVE and PAPERS PAST - but haven't come across Glady's link with RFA in the newspaper.
    Will have to check that out. I do know she was in the British Airforce during WW1.
    Thanks for the lead, Rose.

    Can't believe I typed Anderson - it's Aston in my notes.
    Birth registered Jun Quarter 1881, Croyden (Surrey), vol 2A, Page 210 - mother's maiden name Griffin.

    I found mention of the RFA re. her marriage 1920?
