Hi Dave,
There was an inquest into Pauline MORNANEs death
Year 1984 Reference : 1540  Inquest date: 31.10.1984 it doesn't give a cause of death on the CD.
You can obtain a copy of the inquest if you want here

There are a number of mentions of his death in the National Library's digitised newspapers including family notices and a short bio of him - The Argus, 1 Aug 1884. (this one is on p5 although the site will direct you to p4)

Use Goolemap to see an arial view of Stawell.  Mary's probate papers say she owns a house on cnr Main and Scallon Sts Stawell.  The address is still there but there's a roundabout road layout now so not sure whether the actual house is there.

Sue, I think the people mentioned with regard to the chn in the will are: Samuel Kelso? Minister Church of Scotland, Peter Galbraith something manager and I think it is  'my sister' Bridget O'Brien.

Another one rounded up...so Samuel Kelso was with them, his wife Jane was Nathaniel's sister! I hadn't even started looking for her yet.

Again Thanks!

Thanks Cando, looks like there might be a couple of graves to look up!

To help you on your way with the KELSOs have a look at Samuel's digitised will which lists his children and his wife.
