Hi Firstfleet
Saw your old post re the Fisher Family.  There is a Public Member Tree on Ancestry. Millane/Barry/Gallagher. Searched as Frederick Fisher b.1826 d. 1882. Spouse Sara Casey.
Click on their son Frederick m. Sara Wells.  there is a photo of his headstone.
Hope this helps.

I did a search through the State Library NSW, as you cannot get 1990 records from Trove, but it doesn't shed anymore light on the subject, as a matter of fact they had one of the daughter's names spelt wrong.  I would assume from that notice the daughters still live in Australia, but cannot search marriage records as later dates are not available.  I remember someone telling me that there was a storey about the family in one of our weekly magazines (sad storey), might have to e-mail the mags and see if they hold copies.
Thanks again
Maggie

Thank you so much for your reply.
I have seen the headstone on Billion Graves, thought the Funeral Directors were Legacy Funerals, contacted them, but this was not the case.  The information you so kindly sent me does not have a Funeral Director listed, but maybe the clue would be "Morman", I do recall that Bruce and his family were in fact Mormans, will try to track the girls through that avenue.  The gravesite is right in the middle of houses, and I do recall that this land was sacred to his family, have tried searching that way, but again no luck. Have also tried to track them through a Maori Land Claim, but unfortunately another brick wall, as their addresses were not listed.  I do have quite a few photos of their father, and thought perhaps this might fill in some gaps for them, I would love to give them to his daughters.
Thanks once again

Thanks again, that information is so useful.  I can remember many moons ago visiting that little resting place which is sacred ground to the family.
