I know this is an old thread but I had to add my 2 cents worth. Dorothy and Raymond (Dot and Ray) were related to me - Ray was my grandmother's brother and I believe the last survivor from their family. My grandmother was Ivy Ethel. I remember meeting Ray quite a fewtimes but wouldn't say I knew him all that well - my mother did though. Ivy died in 1997 and another brother Clarence (Uncle Clarry or 'Clacker' as he was known) lived for many years in Brisbane and died perhaps in the past 10 years. I believe Hazel died at a late age but I'm not sure exactly when.

One of the brothers died in a horse & cart accident sometime around 1920 - can't recall which one but must be George if Percival's war records are correct. It had a big effect on the family, as you might imagine. My mother has a couple of medical books given as a gift to 'George', but I'm not sure if it was their father or grandfather, in 1903 when he left for the Dandenongs to follow a religious calling. George Grosvenor had a property in Olinda, which is no longer standing but has a road named after it, so perhaps it was him

The family were raised in Crockford St Port Melbourne. (Google '48 crockford st port melbourne' and on Google Maps Streetview you'll see a row of single storey Victorian homes - I'm pretty sure it's one of those as I once saw a very old photo with the family standing out the front).

That's all I have for now. Good luck...
