Hello,
There is a 1963 death for this man aged 73 at Malvern, in the Victorian records #14158, Mother and father's names are the same as those given in the earlier post by Sparrett. The mother's surname is unique.
good hunting
Robyn
This death was found by Mandy but deleted for breaches of copyright,
Good outcome there Sue between the two of you, you have solved most of the puzzle except for Mary Charlotte Blair.

Hi all,
Well, another case of a family starting out together in England and spreading to all different points of Australia.
Many mysteries solved in this thread, thanks.
Robyn, thank you for posting the burial information. As Jenn mentioned it was there, up the thread, then it wasn't !!

Hi Judith,
Thank you.
I also see IGI exract as follows
Marriage. Jessie Hardie to William Blair 7/7/1863 at Falkirk, Stirling Scot.
The birth I see extrcted is
Birth 9/4/ 1864
Mathew Selby Blair
Place- Cavers , Roxburgh, Scot.
Father- William
mother- Jessie Hardie
So, a bit mysterious!!
Sue
Adding.
If we wanted to keep the child's conception inside the marriage, I would vote for the July 1863 marriage

Hi Robyn and Jenn,
No, I did not have Mary Charlotte's burial. Thank you Robyn
She must have joined her sister in SA at some stage after 1931.
Yes, poor Gordon. A family tradgedy I'm afraid.
Ahappy searching day for me.
Sue

No doubt Sue you had a search of the newspapers but have added the link, it sounds as if he was a brave lad.
The newspaper article is hard to read but in the following year it does have a memorium and says he drowned while attempting to save another.
