Where was my father born, his date of birth, was he adopted?

Question:

Where was my father born, his date of birth, was he adopted?

His name now is Arthur Reid, his date of birth is believed to be 18/5/1921, and believed to be born around Grafton,NSW. He believes he is catholic because he rembers going to a lot of Catholic schools around that district. He left NSW and came to Queensland when he was very young by himself. Can you help please.

chas ronald reed i beive is his fathers name--Mary Anne Longstreet (married name was Bostworth at the time of his birth)
not born in NSW but in London at home--no hospital records. his mother had serious mental problems and was not allowed to raise him--the last time she saw him he was 4 yrs. old. he does know his correct birth date--she says.
the man who raised you was mary annes boyfriend and he figured he was your father.--and he may have a differnt name as a nic-name.--both are deceased and i was able to talk to them. the man said he named you Charles and called you RODDY
i hope i have been of some help tp you--iam sorry that i cannot document what i have here--but i can tell you that i have done this before--especially for people who have been adopted and have no clue about thier real parents.--now, i did this pretty fast and most of the time i take days to make sure of all i say is true--so you must also keep this in mind--and forgive any mistakes on my part.
