Hi,
Iam trying to find anything about Francis Lanfranchi he was born on the 3rd June 1881 St Arnaud Victoria, but can't find anything else on him
Francis was still alive when Bernard and mary parents died.

I looked at the 1926 death of Francis Lanfranchi in Katoomba but the father was Thomas.
Have you tried bdm Vic site?
-
yes i have, maybe Lanfranchi could have been spelt a different way

Possibly he was in WA by 1906.

Will of Bernard LANFRANCHI has no mention of a Francis or Frank
As I see it
The will of Bernard LANFRANCHI who died in 1899 makes mention of all his living children including Frank.
It is stated his wife Mary died in 1887.
He had a son of the same given name, Bernard.

A funeral notice dated 1935 for James O'malley mentions, O'malley, Casey and Hooks. No mention of Lanfranchi so maybe Francis / Frank had left or died by then ??

This is the link on Vic BDM website for the death of Francis Lanfranchi died Wonthaggi Victoria 1935 aged 62
mother Mary Anne Casey, father Bernard Francis Lanfranchi.
Note that the 2 entries have been mispelt and his age may not be accurate.
If you are not familiar with the town of Wonthaggi it has long been a coal mining area. Seems appropriate for Frank as a miner. He left a will (Public Record Office Victoria but it has not been digitised)
http://www.ozgenonline.com/~vic_cem/bass_coast/wonthaggi_gn_data.htm
Link to Wonthaggi cemetery photo of grave: seems he was known as Thomas ? wife Ellen, dau Clarice?
In 1909 he was miner at Maryborough, 1912-1914 employed by State Mine Wonthaggi living at Dudley (South Wonthaggi) The Wonthaggi miners were a very political lot and are fondly remembered in this district as the mine is open to visitors.

And bereavement thanks notice from family. Has address 20 Cameron St, Wonthaggi

This looks like the children born in Victoria (St Arnould)
1897 Alice Irene
1902 Clarice Eileen
1908 Thomas Francis
parents names are Thomas LANFRANCHI and Ellen (Nellie) WARNES
Thomas LANFRANCHI married Nellie WARNES 1896 in Victoria (2776 / 1896) Thomas/Francis would be very young, I wonder what it says on the marriage certificate. :-\
Modified to add:
I've just realised there was a child of Bernard and Mary Ann called Thomas Francis born 1872. This is much more likely to be the chap shume found and I've been looking at. Back to the drawing board ...
