I found those two on the 1936 electoral rolls living in Booval. James is a draughtsman and Archd is a Clerk. There is a John also in Booval, who is a printer. (Booval and Wynnum are some distance apart - Booval is Ipswich west of Brisbane and Wynnum is east of Brisbane on the bay - I wonder if John retired to the seaside?  )
Also found these immigrating to Brisbane:
John Headrige [sic] 25
Janet (Mrs) Headrige 29
Jane Headrige 3
arriving in Brisbane on the Wakool 24 Dec 1903
Also Archd Headridge age 25 arriving on the Kaikoura 24 Sept 1911 - wonder if he's a rellie?

angusg,
If you haven't already done so, you can search google maps for the Wynnum street address - houses are numbered and I shouldn't imagine those numbers would have changed since the 60's, so you can see where he lived. Quite suburban but nor far from the water.
Good find Kris. Lots of Greenhills ...

I wonder about this marriage too.
1921/C3320. Router Edwin Falland married Headridge, Jean Gordon.
now I have been tricked often by the replacing of Jean with Jane and vice-versa. Is she the Jane of the immigration/

This more recent immigration may be of interest too. The second given name of Isabella caught my eye.

They travelled per STRATHNAVER departing from Tilbury on 2nd June 1959. They were assisted Immigrants

Thank you Thank you ALL very much
for the quick and speedy response.
We have been pondering John and family fates for a long time
ever since a relative gave me the undated and non specific newspaper
article.
How does one checkout the death of John and his wife?
also the obvious Australian marriages of off springs?
and off course the ultimate a live relative cointact.

this is a link to the Australian White pages, there are only 2 Headridges in Australia, perhaps you could contact them?
Qld deaths are only one line till 1929 and on micro fishe lookup after that till 1964 at a library or family history society.

I am sending this link.
It is one of a few references found on the 'the major search engine' which is about this person who I think may possibly be the living relative you would like to contact!
and off course the ultimate a live relative cointact. angusg

angusg,
I can check for Headridge deaths to 1964 at the Archives next time I go but not sure when that will be, perhaps next week, as it's been on my "to do" list for some time.
However if John was still bowling in about 1961 when that article appeared in the paper, he may well have died after 1964. 
He's not listed on the Brisbane City Council cemeteries index - I don't know anything about likely cemeteries in the Wynnum area.
