Personal Notes:

In Melbourne about 1889, William married Emma La Veigne WEAVERS; there were no children and nothing more is known about his wife. Asenath's obituary in 1922 said he was in the Commonwealth Postal Service. Prior to his death, William was a clerk living at 86 Old South Head Road, Bondi Junction. He died from senile myocarditis on 30 May 1943 at Liverpool State Hospital Home five weeks short of his 87th birthday. On 01 June 1943, he was buried at Waverley C of E Cemetery. Almost all this data was gleaned from his death certificate.
