I'm not finding a death or funeral notice for Mary Ann Luke 

You can search http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/ for newspaper deaths and funeral notices up until 1954-55.   

For more recent deaths you can view this index http://ryersonindex.net/search.php and ask the volunteers for a lookup

Do you have all this Thistle?  Looks like you have already done a lot of research.   Perhaps you are just wanting descendants to contact you?

Hi Ros,

Thanks so much for all the references you sent, I had some of the stuff but there were some interesting snippets I didn't know. I could place nearly all of the names in the obituaries, I have just discovered that the wife of Pater Luke, Edna May Harrison died in February this year so I presume there must be some close relatives of her in the Brisbane area.

Going through the file of John Hoggan Campbell is very sad but interesting to see the hand written notes about his illegitimacy and the sorrow in the tone of the Mother's letters. Imagine having to write to the authorities asking for more info on your MIA son and not finding out for months that he was dead.

It would be great to find some descendants but not holding out much hope.

Many thanks again,

Gary

As this forum is about finding Ancestors rather than living living decendants why not place an Advertisement in one of the papers in Brisbane. Or use the White pages?

Hi Gary,
   Yes these digitised war service records, especially for those who died, are so moving and the army sounds so unsympathetic [understatement].

    I've made some great contacts via this forum - 2 new cousins (one not at all interested in family history) and reconnected with 2 other cousins from childhood.  So there's definitely hope.

regards,
   Ros

I think you have to put yourself in the shoes of the person who wrote up these records. If they were sympathetic to those relatives, what a minefield that could open up. How would they view their JOB....what memories would they carry throughout their lives. Distance in mind and in words staves off the hardness of the facts.

Isn't there a paper in Brisbane that has a special reconnect section in it? I seem to recall that in other posts. Courier Mail perhaps? Trying to find Campbell relatives, thats a bit tricky!

At least Breciano got one in
