Having found the birth of John Douglas Cundy's wife, I can now publish her namre as the 100year mark has passed.

Bertha Alfreda Lancaster
LANCASTER Bertha A
20261/1919
Father  Alfred E
Mother Bertha M
KURRI KURRI

She first married underage with the consent of her father in NSW in 1939 to Henry Keith FRANKLIN.
He was aged 32 and born in Sydney.
Her parents were Alfred Edward, a greengrocer and Bertha Matilda

By 1953 this couple were in Caulfield Vic and the FRANKLIN marriage had deteriorated .
As said, she married again in 1960.

So had you ever heard that Alexander Cyril BROWN was an electrician?

There is a man of that name on electoral rolls from 1972 in the Northern Territory.
A woman of the same surname shares his address.
The couple is in Gladstone QLD by 1980 where he is a driver.

Probate was granted in the estate of a woman of the name last June with her death in QLD and, although I am pretty sure it is the wife/partner ,  I am working on confirming ( not merely a person of the same name ).

Any hints you can give will help.

Here is some ABN information about the couple's business

As far as I know Alexander Cyril remained in and around Victoria & NSW. He did however own a company, but I've no information about it. The info you posted in regards to John D. Is amazing! Thankyou. I have attempted to search school records for both, but I'm new to all this and wasn't really sure how to go about it. Again, your amazing!! Thankyou

Alexander Cyril worked with horses in his early years, I have a newspaper picture but no accompanying article, also Alexander. C is buried at the lawn cemetery in HAY. N.S.W. the headstone does mention a wife by first name and her sons, I know nothing about them though, so I don't wish to state the names here. Happy to post the newspaper image here if it helps

Thanks for the extra information.

The couple I was looking at are not your man.

As you can see the headstone states names, but I don't have any other info unfortunately, I know getting to know them at the time was not wanted. If that makes sense. Thankyou Sue
Kindly
