Yes, he was a CPO Cook on the HMAS Lonsdale. I saw a picture of him and he looked very smart, if I may say so myself. Maybe I can find that picture..

Hello  there 

I  know  it  is a bit of a  longshot  but  there  is a  listing in South Australia  on  the  White pages Online  for  a  RJ  McGrath  he would be  90  years  old so  not impossible?

Would you by any chance know if Old Modbury Cemetery exists anymore (because I can't find it)?

Hi

I am wondering if you are referring to a church cemetery - I don't recall seeing a reference to the above cemetery.

or an email to the Tea Tree Gully Council

I'm not sure if he'd be in the white pages Cry. I managed to squeeze some information out of a relative; it took some work. Cool

Ronald James McGrath
- Lived Skenes Bay, near Apollo Bay, Great Ocean Rd, Vic
- Ranger at the Naracoorte Caves
- He was married twice but this relative isn't sure if Linda Jean is his first or second wife
- Married one of them when he was a ranger at the Naracoorte Caves
- The other he married possibly in South Australia
- And according to this relative- Ronald died in Morgan area in SA

Angus McGrath
- Worked in the Automotive industry
- Most of his time spend in Victoria

Now this relative is the nephew of Angus, Ronald and Edward. And he hardly knows anything about them; mainly Angus! Shocked

Hey cando, thanks for that info. It was in my records that several relatives died at Old Modbury but I couldn't find any such place. Only Modbury in SA.
