Aged 59. died 23 July 1950. Buried 25 July 1950. RC 5 Section Block 1 Allotment 19 (the RC here indicates Roman Catholic Section) His religion is listed as R.C. Cemetery Burial # V861.

He was born about 1891,he is recognized in the rolls at Shrine of Remeberance near Melbourne,Australia. Walter diedJuly 23,1950. He was buried July 25,1950 in Roman Catholice section of Presbyterian Cemetery at Drayton & Toowoomba Cemetery. My wife was a Blurton. We are researching the family. We know some travelled to Australia. Would like to follow up on Walter to prove or disprove his connection to My wife's family. We know her Blurton heritage goes back to Staffordshire England & beyond. Her first American ancestor,a James Blurton came to USA in early 1800's. She has a very distant "cousin",James Blurton from Perth,West Australia.Any help greatly appreciated. > > Charles A. Sharp(USA) > csharp@modempool.com
