I presume Stewart Easton MORGAN was named Stewart after her maternal Grandmother.   

Here's Stewart's Gran, Stewart  in 1891

And in 1871

She was his nurse and they married.  As far as I know the marriage was still valid when she re-married in NZ.  He never married again.  I didn't know she married twice after James.  He certainly was a good looking man.

This is his death detail.  It is the "back of Bourke" Teryawynie Station is on the Talyawalka Creek off the Darling.  I had a quick look on Ancestry and his date of death is given as 29 Oct 1916.  The marriage to Vernon is listed as 16.10.1917 Auckland NZ.  He was my grandfather's brother.

Yes, I have this.

I just put it up for others.  I was looking on Ancestry for Hannah's branch and saw the notice and the death date.  Trove was re-done awhile back and that is why I added the link.  Great Aunt told me about his death so the family knew about it.  They gave him a proper burial etc. I have still to look for photos.  Have mainly been working on the Westbrook family from Blackwall (London area) to see if I can find the mother while the 87, 84 and David (Andrew Charles) are still with us.  They are all interested.
