Great stuff Jenny, Yes I do know Ernie's parents Stanley James Paterson and Annie Kathleen Carroll. Ernest was the 3rd of 4 kids they had 3 boys and a girl the girl I have met but sadly Dementia has her in its grip now so she is not a lot of help from her nursing home in Melb. She is the last survivor of that family. She had 6 children and can't remember their names. I am sure we all have 'lations with similar problems these days. I appreciate your efforts and I would get hold of Ernest's Death Certificate if I could find the number I've been told he is buried at Fawkner would they be able to add anything? Col

Hi Col, If you google Fawkner Crematorium you will be able to search the deaths under the name required and get the information.
