While I can't help with Australian info Brenton, the following entry was found in a search of Ancestry.com: LAING, Warrington David F, born in the March quarter of 1907 in London, Surrey. There is also a newspaper entry, sadly not covered by my subscription plan: Warrington LAING, Edinburgh, Midlothian, Edinburgh Advertiser, 26th June, 1827 (a possible ancestor?) Hope this adds to your collection of info. Regards, Brenda (Brisbane)
