I would feel that the Ryerson entry would indicate that at some point someone requested a lookup for this death.
Which make me feel that a researcher was looking for more family history.
I noted when researching my family there is a Shoebridge there for around 1890, so that would surely be a lookup request
justmy opinion for what it is worth

Hi Judith,
Thanks for the these links and the tip about .com.au.
I've been looking at the death notice for Edgar that you found for me, and have spotted someone that I hadn't seen before. I knew that he had two children (Margaret/Madge born in NSW and Frederick J born in California) but there is also a son Walter mentioned.
Do you know if there is any way to check a birth after 1908?
I've found a marriage for a Walter Francis Wilmshurst to Jean Elizabeth Dunbar in 1939 at Chatswood, and a mention in the National Archives for him, born 22.10.1912 in Sydney, NOK Jean Wilmshurst, and on the War Memorial Site he appears as a POW in Malaya. So far, I haven't been able to find anything to say who his parents were - hopefully Edgar and Margaret.
Also, would someone with more local knowledge have any thoughts about David and Grace Murphy in the Australian Electoral Rolls.
Cando found them in 1930 at 32 Carlisle Street, Rose Bay (an Agent and HD), but I think I've found another David and Grace Murphy in 1930 at Malvern Court Flats, Croydon Avenue, Croydon (Estate Agent and HD) and in 1936 at 24a Brighton Avenue, Croydon Park (Estate Agent and HD). In 1936 there is also a Sylvia Murphy with them, a Clerk.
Could these be the same couple? I realise they could have married in another country or state, but the only marriage I could find for a David Murphy to Grace between 1850 and 1930 is David Murphy to Grace Wilmshurst. 
Could they appear twice in 1930 - maybe a home and business address? Hmmm?
Janet

) had another daughter I didn't know about - Mabel, who was born in Kent but for some reason she doesn't appear on the passenger list with the rest of the family. I still can't work out who the "extra" Fred on the list is - is it possible someone could have misheard Mabel for Fred??
