On this site http://www.wamarriage.info/ there is a possible marriage for him in 1962 ( but the forenames are reversed).  The second name of the wife corresponds to the grantee of the burial

The possible wife's burial http://www2.mcb.wa.gov.au/NameSearch/details.php?id=FB00034932

(they both seemed to reverse their first 2 names)

Hi,
 May I ask?:
Are you requesting details of the murder?

No,this is not the Mervyn I am looking for, all the times & dates seem to fit,but his mother's name was Eileen, When she died in 1943 he was listed on her death certificate as Robert Mervyn. The mother of the one you found a death for is named as Dorothy. I have been in touch with the Supreme Court Transcripts section & they don't seem  to have found anything. Suggested I go to the Library. Any information at all would be helpful... It is believed his father was an aboriginal.But he took his mothers' surname

Information on death certificates is only a good as the knowledge of the informant.

What was the cause of death of Mervyn Robert QUINLAN whose death was registered in 1969 in WA?

The only Mervyn Robert QUINLAN death registration in the 1960's in WA, Vic, NSW, SA, and Qld is the 1969 death registration in Western Australia.

I notice there was also a soldier named Mervyn Ross QUINLAN in Western Australia.  Possibly an error in the newspaper.

Obviously born post 1932 in WA or his birth wasn't registered.

Did his mother marry?
