William worked for my grandfather and was killed fighting a bushfire

Another mystery: There is no inquest for a William Bell who died abt 1911 in a fire


So, no grave AND no inquest ... !!
Are you sure that your details are correct?

How about a William WELLS who died 14 Feb 1901 after being burned during a fire in Birrie ...? (And yes, he is buried at Warncoort)
