I think you maybe on the right track, I am trying to trace the ancestors of Owen Butler Trewartha born 16/10/1921 in St. Peter's Adelaide South Australia. Owen died 29/01/1981, he was my partner at the time, now all these years later I am trying to compile some history. I do not know his parents names, but what you have found is the closest. I thank you for your research as I could not get anywhere.
