  His father was Hans Johannes Trules Nissen, but he was born while his mother Florence Harriet Matthews, nee Swarzes was still married to Leonard Matthews Raymond Robert MATTHEWS/NISSEN (son of Hans Johannes Trules NISSEN and Florence Harriet SWARZES/MATTHEWS) was born 8 November 1911 in North Sydney, NSW. His mother was still married to Leonard MATTHEWS so he was registered under that name. His life was disrupted by very many changes of address and many changes of school. On 25 November 1932 he married Lila CAMERON in Burwood. He had met his wife while working at his step-grandfather’s dairy farm at Dungog. She was only 14 when they married. They had five children – Barbara, Jessie, Kenneth, Margaret and Robert - and lived in various houses in the Gosford area, settling for a while in The Entrance Rd, Wamberal. Finding it difficult to get a job he joined the militia as a cook on 14 February 1939 and eventually became a corporal in the 18th Battalion. The family had moved to Reynolds St, Pymble by then. Ray joined the AIF on 17 October 1941. Not long after the birth of his last child he was working as a cook in a training battalion in the Dubbo area. He was discharged medically unfit on 31 May 1944. After the war he rejoined the army and went with the occupation forces to Japan. He had many jobs in country NSW after his marriage broke up in about 1950. A few years later he moved to Tamworth and died there on 21 June 1988. He had sixteen grandchildren, but lost all contact with his family. His sister, Dot, and nephew, Robert, were the only family members to attend his funeral. 1941 Of Ingleburn Camp (Home Defence)
