I think you will find Charles died under the name Claude W S CREE - in Eaglemont, a few years earlier. I passed on that info off list when the message was first posted. (And I think I saw someone else post the same to the list.) I was not able to help with too much else needed though! Graham, if you get this, the list would love to know how you go with all the suggestions!

Was not able to find a death for Charles, who died before her as it does say she was a widow, also do you know where she was buried as often the cemetery will have a list of all buried at that site. Not sure when I will be in N Melbourne next but happy to check this will when I do.
