Are a couple of interesting naturalisation and what looks to be an ASIO file in the NAA name search and some refs to other PURAs in Ryerson . Doesnt appear to have married. He left a will # 352657. So should be a probate packet and deceased estate file out at State Records, Kingswood The CPA might have historical archives ? Bye MargM Sydney List Admin
