Hi Karen

On that WW2 enlistment index, I spotted an "Ernest McINNES - b. 1900 - at Towong, VIC 
Enlistment place - Caulfield". 
Father:    Mr E. McINNES   

Probably a "red herring" ... but maybe worth following up on ?

Hi Karen

Yes, I realise it was Ernest Nerney McINNES ( the youngest brother of Myles and Ellen Christina, and who you haven't yet found )  ... so in 1900 he (Ernest N.) would have been 23 ... and could quite possibly have been the father of this Ernest born at Towong  ??

Ernest (b. 1900) -  father is just listed as "Mr. E. McINNES"
so my thinking was (father) might also be named Ernest ?

Hi Karen,

Couldn't have said it better. 

Wish we could find his death.  Nothing from the Church yet so I will ring them again.

It is possible that Maria had problems with the birth of the last child and went to Sydney to recover.

It is also possible way out where John was working that he died from an accident and his death was not recorded.

Wish we could get employment records or Post Office Directory information for the area at that time.

Would it be worth getting a transcription of Maria's death or even her certificate online as this is a bit cheaper?

Hi Karen and Meg

Ah  ... was just about to suggest that Karen should perhaps get the death cert. for Maria McINNES  ... might just provide some more leads / clues ?? 

And best (and cheaper) to get this through a transcription agent (and have it emailed to you).     I can thoroughly recommend the following :
