Hello,

Thank you for your quick reply; according to William Francis LUXON's attestation record for the Australian Imperial Force, he was living in Brisbane, Queensland.

I see in the 1900 Queensland PO Directory that the Pobar Bros (Arthur, John, Felix F, Thos and Wm F) were butchers in Gowie St Toowoomba.

Nice to see 5 brothers in one business.

Hi Craig
I believe Edward John Pobar (1895-1938) is Josephine's son.  Unfortunately I don't know anything more about him.  I live in hope that one day someone who knows something about Josephine may pop up !!

Thank you both for your information.  It is interesting to see he lived in the area in which some of my other unrelated ancestors lived.
