Thanks very much for all your help. However, apparently Grace Mary Baker was a school friend of my friend's mother.
Thanks to everyone but no further information is needed.  Ruth

Hi Ruth

Just had a quick look for a death notice for Herbert MERRONY but nothing in Melbourne Sun from 8-10 April.  As you said you didn't need any more I didn't look for Grace but I can, at another time, if you  would like.

There are only 3 entries in the current telephone directory with that surname

Greetings
I'm Grace Mary Baker/Merrony's eldest son Michael, born 27/9/1932 in Croydon, Surrey, UK.
Have sister Anne (dob 7/11/38) and brother John (dob 8/3/34).  Anne lives in British Columbia & John near Melbourne, Australia.  I left UK in 1951 for Zimbabwe & Family came to Australia 1957/60.  I now live in southern NSW, Australia.
I've traced the Baker ancestors back to late 1700's in Wiltshire.  My maternal grandmother was a Freeth.  Their history goes back to late 1700's in Birmingham, UK.  They moved to London around 1815 and worked as silversmiths and related trades.

Hoping there's a connection.

Best wishes  Michael :)

Hi Ruth
My name is Michael Merrony, eldest child of Herbet Mark Merrony (1908-1974) & Grace Mary Baker/Merrony (1907-2001).
Just read your message again.
My father died 7/4/1974 in Rosebud Hospital on the Mornington Peninsular, Victoria, Australia.  Their address at the time was Sorrento, not far from Rosebud.
I'm intrigued if there is a family connection.
My maternal grandmother's name was Freeth.
Best wishes   Michael
