William John Howard Worrall fought in WW2 - his record has not been digitised (but you can request a copy - costs money).

Hi Ros. The information you have given me is just amazing. I had no idea that Owen had served in the 1st World War or that his Son William had served in the 2nd World War. Nor did I have any knowledge of either of the sons marriages. This has really helped my research.

Thank you so much for your help.

Margaret.

A pleasure to help Margaret 

I can't find second marriage for William - probably in Victoria  after 1937.  Or a marriage for Owen to Alice MacDonald probably in South Australia after 1937.  I don't have access to BDM  marriages after these dates and I couldn't find any marriage announcements in the newspapers.

But others have better resources - I'll ask the moderator to move to the Oz board. 
cheers,
