I searched the Vic deaths at the same time as my Riverina Resources.

Is this Donald's parents and his sister's headstone at Woronora Cemetery?

Would there be an inquest file 'somewhere' for his suicide/death?  At NSW records?

Managed to have a quick read between child-sitting duties.

Wow! You people are like a dog with a bone. Thank you!

Just a quick clarification on the aunty Nell bit:
My source for the story is a book by a second cousin, “From Glenquaich to New South Wales: The Story of John McGregor, his forebears and their descendants”. In it, that part of Donald's story is re-told by a granddaughter of John McGregor (Donald’s father) from what she heard from her aunty Nell (Ellen/Nell M[a]cGregor who never married).

So, by the time it’s reached us, quite a bit could have been varied, as they tend to with things not written down.

Yes, Cando, that’s them.

Sorry, haven’t read everything - and must go. Duty calls again.

I wondered about this electoral enrolment.  Probably at the grasping at straws level now :o

Ellen MACGREGOR living on Zara [station], Wangenella, north of Deniliquin in 1935 and 1937.  Occupation Home duties  No other MACGREGOR enrolled to vote at the same address.

Cando

There certainly should be a record of it even if not a file, as was the case with my ancestor.

Narrandera is also Riverina.

Another quick note:

Nell, as far as I'm aware, spent all her adult life in Sydney suburbs so probably no connection with Narrandera.

Don had a brother Robert with service record 3409. His initial next of kin was N. MacGregor, so maybe that's where that part of the story came from. Family may have thought Nell was the nok for both. Bob joined in Brisbane, Don in Sydney - perhaps that's why there were different noks.

Gotta go again. Thanks, again.

No help with Donald but this is, perhaps, an obit for another brother, John MCGREGOR who is listed on the grave memorial for their father and mother put up by Cando from Austcemindex.

John died Grafton, 27 March 1952, aged 71 and born in Glasgow if the obit is correct
