Hello Ray, your query is a bit vague. Your heading says "life after birth" but you say you know his past? What do you actually know?

Also, you need to edit your heading to reflect that you require help with Australian records - that way the people who specialise in that country should spot it.

'Life after birth'.........what else is there?

And there can't be a 'past' before a person's birth

Ray.

I noticed that there was only one birth registered in South Australia, that being Horace Cottrell 1899 to Jasper and Nellie Cottrell ( Short )
I can see no other childrens births.

I also noticed that Jasper Cottrell father was also a Jasper Cottrell, and his mother was Mary Ann Bartlett

Is it possible the family moved to N.S.W. not long after Horace was born?
There is a death registered of a Jasper Cottrell in 1933 in NSW with parents Jasper Cottrell and Mary A.

Death:
