Thank you Rich,

I have that information. I have hit a brick wall. I can’t seem to find anything after 1928, any finds would be much appreciated. KATHY
Came across a page that said he emigrated to Wellington NZ 27 Aug. 1915 https://www.genealogieonline.nl/en/mcdonald-and-potts-family-tree/I687436.php

Did a search and found:

Immigration: Aug 27 1915 - From Melbourne to Wellington, New Zealand. Marital Status: Single. Ship Name: Wimmera

"New Zealand, Archives New Zealand, Passenger Lists, 1839-1973," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HY-61Z9-1HY?cc=1609792&wc=MP7G-HZB%3A119260801%2C119036802%2C119323601 : 4 July 2019), Wellington (other ports also listed) > 1915 > Wimmera > image 68 of 93; Archives New Zealand, Wellington.
Hi Rich

Thank you again.

Its after 1928, that I am looking for information. John deserted his wife and children supposedly changed his name and went to N.S.W.

His father Charles passed in 1942 in Victoria.On Charles Death Certificate, John is noted as being alive at age 50. Nothing is found since Charles’ death.

Regards. Kathy
Yea it is hard, haven't found anything other than what I have posted. If he changed his name then that will be difficult. Just added the immigration in case you didn't have it
Thank you again. I did have that info and the William Graff in 1929 is not him.

Its a mystery, someone somewhere must know more. He is my Grandfather.

Cheers Kathy
