Hi everyone,
I am not great with Australian research - and wonder if anyone can advise where I might find death notices re Thomas McKerrow Holt (middle name could be mistakenly "McCarrow"). I know for sure that he died about 21st October 1980, age 71 - have found the basic info on Vic. BMD - and also have found photo of gravesite (Cheltenham cemetery Victoria) on "Billiongraves" website. His wife was Mary, and he had two sons Francis ( died 1992, - found grave also) - and T. (possibly still alive). What I am actually looking for is something which will tell us more about his years in Victoria. He was born in Scotland - was a boxer - (won Empire Medal in Canada in 1930) - married Mary in Scotland in 1945 - seems to have migrated to Australia ??year - and died in Frankston Vic. Even just a "family death notice" might help - have tried "Trove" newspapers unsuccessfully... Anyone got any ideas?
