Many thanks for the burial details, it is another box to complete.  It would be great to find out what he was doing in Winton.  On one of our trips we got as far as Longreach being completely unaware that we had a relation in Australia.

Only the hospital where he died, and he was only there 6 days by the look of the death certificate, only the medical attendant and matron appear on the form, so little to go on.  Perhaps he was just passing through, but having no know relations would they have to investigate further instead of burying him the next day.

Hi,

The early Electoral Rolls have a couple of persons, William Abbott residing in the Blackall area for many years,  there was a William looks like married to Bridget residing in Woodbine St Blackall for a long time but your William was not married.

There was however another William Abbott in the Blackall area as well and he first qualified to be on the Queensland State Electoral Roll in 1893 residing at Malvern Hills which is a homestead out from Blackall, his occupation was labourer.  William Abbott is still residing at Malvern Hills in 1919 as a Station hand/labourer.

1922, 1925, 1930, 1934, 1936 and 1937 has a William Abbott, a Station Hand at nearby Lowanna Benlidi out from Blackall.

This William Abbott may have been your man, in Australian terms Blackall is in the same vicinity as Winton and it doesn't appear that there was a Mrs Abbot at these two resisiding places with William.  This William was employed as a labourer/station hand.

Regards
Gerry

Thanks Gerry for the detail you have sent.  It certainly seems a very good possibility as it appears William might have be a loner, like his two brothers, all on properties in difference countries but leading rather isolated lives.  Lets see what more we can discover.  Thanks again.

A legal notice calls for any having claims on the estate of WILLIAM ABBOTT and gives his former "address"-


WILLIAM ABBOTT, late of Range Downs, via Winton, who died on the 16th day of September, 1939. at Wlnton.

The Courier-Mail   Saturday 14 October 1939

Thank you Sue for all the scouting on my behalf.  It all fits, I am so impressed.  I don't think we are going to be able to squeeze out any more information regarding William.
