Hi Kerryn,
The Tasmanian Federation Index 1900 - 1930 at the Tasmanian Library records the marriage of John Stanley EXCELL and Ellen Beatrice OWENS on 16th March 1903, Registration 1903/1176 at Stanley Tasmania. Stanley is a very small town on the coast in NW Tasmania. Checked Electoral Rolls -- the earliest being 1928 for Kentish>Darwin Tasmania. Five EXCELL mentioned living in that area. Alfred Ernest, Christina, Christina Elizabeth, George Dally, and John Jeffrey.
There were two Wills one for a John EXCELL died 12th November 1903 -- no mention of a John Stanley as an heir. The earliest arrival from the UK to Tasmania occurred 20th October 1854 of a William EXCELL aged 23 years.
A John Stanley EXCELL died in South Australia 11th November 1958 (per Ancestry.com.au) no mention of grave in onsite "Centennial Park Cemetery" Adelaide although a large number of EXCELL's interred there.
John Stanley EXCELL may have been born in Victoria and I'd need to go into Hobart to view the Victorian Pioneers Index 1836-1899 -- can do that next week for you.
Hope this helps. Will keep searching for you.
Regards

Oh dear...well that goes to show that clancam did not read the previous threads about John Stanley
EXELL eg John Stanley stated on the birth certificate of his first child he was born Victoria; John Stanley's marriage registration from my copy of The Tasmanian Federation Index 1900 - 1930 has been posted including that it took place at Stanley; John Stanley's death registration and place of death were posted on the linked thread, from my copy of South Australian Death Registration 1915-1972, so why would you seek his burial at Centennial Park when my post clearly stated he was interred at West Terrace Cemetery and finally, I find it offensive that clanclam would even think that the many chatters who helped would not have searched for John S's birth in Victoria.....I know I did an extensive search on my copy of The Victorian Pioneer Index which only extends to
1888 not
1899, the Federation Index is for the period 1889-1901!!!
Kerryn I do hope Peter can help you.

Edit...a search online.....J S
EXELL named his parents as
UNKNOWN when he married in 1914. So did he fabricate his father's name when he married in SA?
