Yes Charles married the widow of Samuel who died in 1918. Their two children were Ellen and Samuel.
Jack Harris Edward KING died 31/12/1983 not 1998. Death reg. 1984/365.
LU..Thanks for the Will link, tried to find the will but couldn't so thank you for that.

This is the only Electoral Roll where he appears with his full identifiable name. QLD.
There is not a female with King surname showing at that locality in that year.

Thank you for all the help, has filled in a lot of the gaps and given new leads to follow. I will order the Death Certificate, have a 1906 QLD one for another family member and that had quite a lot of information on it, and hope that they haven't changed the content.

Yes, Qld certificates often contain a lot of information (death certificates always depend on the knowledge of the informant though). This is a handy guide to what appears on Australian certificates:

Hi Hetty.
You don't have to exactly order it and wait.
It can be viewed as an immediate  download after online payment. ;D

Hetty, also...
Have you been able to decipher any of the writing on the card?

I would be interested in the opinion of others, and I may be imaging things, but it looks as if there is original text beneath the scratchings and scribblings.

Almost as if an original message has been over written with the Love to all, Jack
Can you comment on this?

Sue

ADDING.
In My Opinion, the man looks a good deal older than 19 years. Crowsfeet well developed ;D

maddys52,
Thank you looks about as much as in 1906.
sparrett,
Think it says, "To Patty Len & Brian   Love to all Jack".  But will try arrange to have another look at the post card and see if there could be anything else under the splodge. I agree he does look a bit older than the dates make him to be. Len is Samuel Leonard King son of the first marriage of Ella Lydia to Samuel Leonard KING who died 1918.
Thanks to Lucy2 for the link, he is named in the Will of his father who died 1968 wonder if they found him?
The website was a bit confusing for my limited skills but will follow your link tomorrow and order the Death certificate.

Ordered the Death Cert and it came back with "No Image available. Will be posted to your nominated delivery address once processed by the registry"
So don't know if I didn't press the right button at some stage or if hasn't been scanned, or whatever is done to make it an Image.

The death cert. has arrived, but doesn't have much more information.
Retired Painter. Died Princess Alexandra Hospital, South Brisbane.
Born Ptone New Zealand. (should be Petone).
Cremated 5 Jan 1984 Mount Thompson Crematorium.
Informant  N. Culgan, No Relation, 124 Vendale Avenue, Moorooka.
Does give cause of death.

Thank you all for your help, fills in a few gaps just another 30 or so years to work on between Ayr and Brisbane.
Cheers
