And here on death of Joseph
http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article123140233

The above article has his name as  Joseph Travers MacMahon and not Joseph Francis 

Yes, there are more than one reference to him with that second given name.

When Charles died he left a will which favoured and actress names Marie Adelaide Veronica May DIETRICHSON  (professionally known as May GRANVILLE)

There is no mention of family contained in the digitised document.

His name was definitely Joseph Francis MacMahon as I have the original certified copy copy of his daughters birth  and he is shown as 53 years old at this time 21/7/1921 so he must have been born in 1864  Also he is showing as been 21 at the time of his mothers death in 1885 so both confirm he was born in 1884 .   A lot of conflicting information is showing in newspapers.  One even saying that he was 57 when he died.  I can not get any birth information from BDM Victoria so he may not have been registered

Hi Martin,
Just for your interest, I have been giving you information from an accurate private resource,  not one publically available. So that is what I found---
