Location: Balmain, New South Wales, Australia
Surnames/tags: Lee Li
My brick wall is my maternal grandfather who went by Wah Lee and was born circa 1917 in Guangzhou (then Canton), China. I have only his 1957 marriage certificate to my grandmother and his 1987 death certificate.
Family history whispers suggest he had a family prior to marrying my grandmother and that he was likely a prisoner of war of the Japanese before being sent out to Australia but I have not been able to find any record.
He also believed he was 10 years younger than he actually was before he returned to China when my mother was a teenager (circa early 1980s) and reconnected with his family (whom we have now lost all contact with). All records of his birth apparently had been destroyed in an accident overseas.
Any help would be much appreciated!
