Stephen Richard Charles Spencer Thompson - Date of Death

Again, thank you so much, it's the break that's broken the spell, with the date of death you found, I have been able to link it a NSW Find A Grave memorial which includes a WWII Service Record number.  He's found.  A million thanks.

I think there's more to Stephen Thompson, his enlistment record for WWII (which confirms a death date of 12th  December 1983), indicates his was born at Traralgon, VIC.....but can I find him on the Victorian BMD Indexes?  No.
But I do appreciate your efforts, I am this far along because of your find!

His WW2 record is available on the National Archives site

Birth given as 5 April, 1913, Traralgon Victoria.
He enlisted at Nyngan, NSW as a labourer, giving his Next of Kin as his elder brother H Thompson, Seymour St, Traralgon. This is crossed out and replaced with Mrs Macmorrow, Shadforth St, Mosman NSW (friend), apparently added 1945 and it's Shadforth St, Mosman listed as his address on discharge.  An entry in 1943  states "Also notify Miss Henry, Shadforth St, Mosman."
He enlisted early in the war, 12/12/39  and was posted missing in Greece, then found as a prisoner of war in Greece, returning to Australia and discharged 'at own request on compassionate grounds' in September 1945.

Edit to add:
WW2 Nominal roll shows his enlistment at Paddington NSW (which seems more likely!)

If an obit could be located, that might yield gold for you, or if he had children, their marriages or obits could be useful too.

The Mrs McMorrow and Miss Henry, I believe, are the same person.  Millicent Edith McMorrow is on the 1943 Electoral Roll at Shadforth Street.  She had married the previous year, her maiden name was Henry.
I cannot locate death notices for Stephen Thompson, nor his wife.
But I've located and been supplied more than I started with, so I am grateful for everything!
