Jessie May Turner had 7 siblings I know of all born at Ascot Vale, Victoria, Australia.

Maybe somebody in this line could tell me what happened to Syd & May's son Clive?. One elderly member of the Smith family thought either May or one/two children maybe were deaf and that they lived either Port Melbourne or out Altona way in about the 1950's. I have a photos of Syd and also their son Clive Smith at 12 months taken by a photo studio which appears to be "Doves Studios" at 17 Holmes Rd, Moonee Ponds which I would like to get back into that line of the family.
