Wow thank you so much to every one for all this help. I honestly did not think I was going to get anywhere with this man. But in the space of a weekend have learned so much.

Highly respected and deeply regretted
By a large Circle of friends


The grave reads

Hi Trevor

Thank you very much for the information. I do not think at the moment I can fit those names into my family. But given time you never know.

Am I right in saying that the Clunes area must have been a common destination for the Welsh people to go to?

I have also just discovered another relation that is said to have died in Australia. His name was David Donald Roberts who died there about 1890. Not got a clue yet where or anything. All I know is that he married a Elizabeth Mulholland, and they had the following children: Esther, Robert, Elizabeth, David, and Gwen.

Ring any bells with anybody out there?
