Wow, Markee!  Your maternal grandmother - didn't she do well!

Paternal grandfather - Allan Ewen Cameron, born 1885 "Uanda", Muttaburra, Queensland, Australia
Paternal grandmother - Beatrice Katherine Huband-Smith, born 1877 Jerry's Plains near Singleton, New South Wales, Australia.  (Yes! She was 8 year older than grand-dad, unusual in those days!)

Maternal grandfather - Harry Hood Bentley, born 1881, Hong Kong.
Maternal grandmother - Ethel Annie Hall, born 1882 Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

So I'm pretty solidly an Aussie!
