Hi Mackha and Majam and Sparrett,
Thank you for all the help;  missed the Waverley Cemetery notice on Trove but found the Death Cert entry at BDM (site had been unavailable here for two days  ).   I'm actually trying to find details of someone I think lived with him or in his premises in 1882 - I have the rate assessment evidence.   Not much point looking for his birth and parentage unless I can establish a direct connection with him - and I'm not sure there is one  .   Sparrett, is it possible to find details of his premises at 20 Exeter Place, off Elizabeth Street, 1882?

The funeral is on page 12: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article14610148

I checked the headstone disc. He isn't on it, but there are quite a few other Foley there.
