Hi To find out more information about Edward Spence you will need a copy of his death certificate. That will show who he was married to, where and when; a list of his children if any and how long he was in Victoria or any other state (Tasmania) it should also include who his parents were. Most of these details will be supplied hopefully by someone who knew the deceased (a member of the family.) Below is the registration for his death - you will need to go to BDM Victoria https://online.justice.vic.gov.au/bdm/index-search?action=getHistIdxSearchCriteria where you should be able to download a copy of the certificate. Need to type in Family name Given name and Registation number Below is the only marriage I could find for an Edward Spence - it might be the right one but the only way to be sure is to get Edward's death certificate. I could not find any children born (up to 1920) for Edward Spence Digger - Death Index.
