Thanks for the msg . Alexander Fellows was born in Antrim Ireland and travelled to Australia with his parents John Scott Fellows and family. They travelled to Marong Bendigo and then took up land at Gunbower Island.
John Scott Fellows died at Kerang 1876. Alexander Fellows Died in 1907.

Not sure what to make of the dispute over crown land but looks like the right Emma Fellows.

http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/88560315?

Robert Ferguson SCOTT was a merchant of Echuca who left a considerable estate when he died in March 1900.

His widow Jane Georgina SCOTT and son Robert Mitchell SCOTT were executors .

The will is available on the link I have given above.

I do not see mention of the name FELLOWS in the large number of those receiving bequests.
