It seems I have been concentrating on Queensland when I should have thought of elsewhere. I have now been given a copy of the death cert of Edward Chaplin with the ages of his children. In 1939 Leslie Edward was noted as 18 so the theory of adding a couple of years to his age to join up seems to fit. His NOK was his brother in law, William McKenna, rather than his sister.
I have checked the NSW electoral rolls and a person I think may be him from 1949 through to 1980 does not appear to have married. The 1987 death may well be him, however I can't find a link to any cemetery search pages like we have in NZ. Is there a way to search cemetery inscriptions?
