Research notes

Birth year guessed.

His son William is buried in Nambucca Heads Cemetery which is in the Macksville District. Buried with wife Annie, who died 27 April 1903. The headstone gives his death date as September 1907, but I believe the year to be in error. Querying the NSW Index by month indicates he died in September 1906.
