William John SMITH Queensland

[McGreevy]

Hi

I have used the usual resources but am coming up empty on this man. He died in 1946 in Queensland and his son and some relatives are mentioned. The actual article has not been scanned yet by Trove but it is him. What I am trying to find is his wife. I know that he had a son named William as well. This is the little I have found Families. Mr. and Mrs. William Smith, Goodna. Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Bahr. Brisbane, and Misses Ellie and Beth Smith. Goodna. are invited to attend the Funeral of their deceased Father. Fathering and Grandfather. William John Smith, late of Church Street. Goodna.

I am trying to find William John Smiths ancestors and where he came from.

Thank you kind Chatters  for any help you can give.

Thank you all

You have put me on the right track.  Have found a few articles in Trove that piece together everything. Still looking. Interested in the death of Ellen Smith, it is said she was involved in a car accident.

Also will go looking for George Smith and Anne Bowen.

Again thank you.
