There is a death notice for a woman who  may be the wife of the correct Harry I think.

A good find re the death Sue, thank you.

And thanks to you too, cupoflife, this confirms that although he was known as Harry, he was in fact Henry.

Yes 'my' man, J. H. Galbraith got around a bit in the social circles. And following his death in 1921, although he had not lived in the country for over 20 years, many Australian newspapers noted his death.


Minniehaha.

And just in case there was any doubt, the following legal advertisement confirms.....

"Henry Austin, retired Wool Broker, deceased" etc., etc.
