So where to from there?

Who did he marry?  Or is that the query?

Was he born in Australia or elsewhere?  If he was your great grandfather you should know who he married.

When & where was their child - your grandfather - born

A few mentions on trove to do with his war time (wounding, return and honour board at Midland Junction Methodist Church), but nothing about a marriage.

The only marriage I can see for him is in 1924 to Ellen Kathleen BARBER in Essex ( Rochford 4a/830). Do you have this certificate? What is his status ie widow, single etc?

Modified to add:
There are mentions of a Mrs Ellen COPPARD in WA in 1935 on trove. However it doesn't mention her husband's name, but I'm guessing it is "A E COPPARD"

Yes
And many others.

I was not sure whether the Australian info was contained in the web of threads so I hope it is of assistance.
