I will get my Sands and Macdougall directories out and see what else I can find. Of course there will be nothing if they weren't living in Melbourne.

Well, I have to say cando and All that I often look at the discoveries made on this board in the space of a single day and chuckle at the half formed family trees published on the net after years of effort.

Then I soundly pat us all on the back .

Hi again

Thanks cando and Robyn for the information you found.

I have just purchased John Cowley Tapley death certificate
( the last for a while as the financial administrator of the
house just said.................no more certificates!!! )

John Cowell Tapley
died 15/5/1896 at Hospital, City of Bendigo.  U.R (Usual Residence?) Unknown
Male age 63 years  Occupation: carpenter
Cause of death: From injuries received from accidentally falling from a
waggon when returning from the Elmore races
Verdict of magisterial inquiry held by W Webb JP on 16th May 1896
Mother and Father: Unknown
Informant: Const W Black Present at Inquiry
Buried: Bendigo Cemetery 18/5/1896
Minister: Rv Mackillop Church of England
Where born: Unknown,England  How long in Colonies: 30 years Victoria
Marriage: Where, how old and to whom - Unknown
Issue from Marriage: Unknown

There you have it!  Almost certain that it is Ellen/Evelyns husband.
It seems that we may never find out any more about what really happended
in the time between the birth of William Herbert Tapley in 1865
and Alexander Charles in 1872.

Thanks so much for everyones input into this..........it's been fascinating

The value  of a certificate  can never be measured by mere money can it Raylen However  it does become rather hard  to  buy buy buy.

The whole story  may never be known  but  you  never know  who wil  be googling away  looking for  their grandparents and come upon  this site and can add more to it.
