Philip Anstruther married 1980 & had a family.  If his wife is still alive is she not able to help with his birth details etc?

What is the connection to your FH as I note you had a question mark against the year of Philip's death

The record of his service with the RAAF is digitised, but with no information after his discharge in 1946.  There's a couple of photos of him, I assume at the time of enlistment.

Go to NameSearch, enter his name and scroll to 'Airforce personnel' records.  Use the spelling SELLWOOD.

For interest, the address on his RAAF record, and the 1949 electoral roll (1334 High St, Malvern) was for sale in 1951.
eg:
https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/206387644  (6th column, in the top third).

Richard Morgan and Jacqueline Elise SELLWOOD also show at 22 Gordon St, Toorak in 1949. This quite often happens if the couple has moved and the old address still appears on the electoral roll.
