You might try the National Archives of Australia which are found in canberra. They are to be found at this web site.
www.naa.gov.au/collection/RecordSearch.aspx
There are digitised records of all first war members of the armed forces there, and I would be surprised if you could not get a detailed record of their service, not to mention details of their deaths. You may have to search through a lot of Jones but if you have some details relating to their address or other family member ie next of kin,you should be able to sort them out.
I was able to get 64 pages of detail about an ancestor who lost his life in WW1. Good luck

re  1861 & 1851 look-up cowie family
Pleased to be able to add a bit to your research
Hopefully attached is a photo of Jane Cowie or Jane Mitchell as she was then. The photo being circa 1890. I'm not too sure how to do this but here goes. If it doesn't work and you'd like the photo perhaps you can make a suggestion

Re the Cowie family.
I can add that the one daughter of George Cowie and Jane Thompson who was also named Jane Cowie, born 1847, and she married Charles Cumming Bruce Mitchell who was born on 22 April 1842 at Dunphail in the parish of Edinkille, Scotland. Shortly after her marriage  in 1864  in Relugas they migrated to Australia to join her brother in law, James Mitchell's family in Queensland in 1865. Then three years later Jane and Charles WALKED from Queensland to Victoria to join another of Charles family his sister, Mary in Warrnambool , Victoria. This journey took nearly 3 years. They finally settled in Gippsland at a place called Trafalgar. They had 10 children Their first child Margaret died in infancy. The rest survived. Descendents are in both Victoria and Queensland. Jane remarried in 1900 when 52 after the death of Charles in 1888 from facial cancer. She is buried at Trafalgar cemetery under the name Jane Mulcahy. My wife is a descendant of Charles C.B.Mitchell being one of many great grand children.
Hope you find our about other family members.
