I received a reply from SLV State Library of Victoria.
Quote
I have checked the entire work and there is no reference to any Thompson.
 
The only reference to Charles Brown is on pages 2-3:

Mick

Also helpful to know the correct name of the other Victorian station mentioned is
GLENAMPLE.

The Glenample homestead information.  Brief mentions of the origins of the run and its owners.
It’s at Princetown Victoria.

Well, I don't know what is written on pages 2-3, but as I said in reply#8, there are a couple of clear sightings of Charles BROWN for 15 years at Glen Ample.

Like the librarian, I have not seen reference to James THOMPSON.
Possibly his role in the development of the run was overstated by the author of the obituary.
