Thanks Merlin, that's definitely the person I'm looking for.

Looks like the 1917 Newspaper must have got the surname wrong then and I'm actually looking for the MACKAY family.

Thanks Ted ... Alice's sister Eileen was indeed a nurse and served in France in WW!. I have Alice's brother Guy fairly well researched at the moment too.

The death notice from Trove will be very useful thanks. Interesting that none of these things mention Alice's husband's name.

I thought maybe he died in WW1, but have just searched the WW! records and can't find a Mackay that listed Alice as his NoK. That doesn't rule him out as a WW1 serviceman, but it does make it a little more awkward.
I live near Merimbula, NSW, Australia and am interested in the following families
White of Adelaide
Greene of Adelaide
Canny of Co Clare Ireland and Robe SA
Atkinson of Co Mayo Ireland
Ford of St Austell Cornwall and Burra SA
Gibbs of Oxfordshire and Cannington WA
Daley of Carlton Vic and Oaklands SA
McMahon of Marion SA
Denholm of Edinburgh Scotland and Lyndoch SA
Parkinson of Angaston SA

They both disappear from the electoral rolls after 1972 and a son who is with them and also a pharmacist is at the address in 1977 and has moved to a rural property at Drouin by 1980.

I have searched the Warragul and Drouin cemeteries and none of them are there.

Perhaps they retired to Qld :P

I will pm you the name of the son and his wife.

Cheers
