My source has AYREY at longitude 143.8 and latitude 38.3. My calculations are that would be about half way between Colac and Winchelsea near or on the highway. Perhaps a Colac or Winchelsea local may know more. It a while since I've been through there.

Hi Was wondering if anyone can help me find what happened to Oscar Ray Smith, born Fitzroy South in 1904. I have looked through marriages and deaths but could not track him down. Also his sister Vera Victoria Francis Smith, born 1895. She married George Henry Cameron Cox 1937, but I have not been able to find when she died. The parents of both of these were Oscar Victor Smith and Mary Collins. Dennis Schinkel

Hi The 1919 birth is your man and the 1995 death also him: Same parents. I think purchasing the marriage certificate for the 1932 marriage and see who the brides parents were is your next step if only to find out if it is the right lady. regards Robyn

Thanks Daryl The Gladstone Consort Smith and Alice May Skidmore are the parents. I'm in Townsville and went to the Library this morning and they only have records to 1888, so your information is most helpful. I know when Marshall died is there any chance of your checking when Edna died? Thanks again.

Hi Dennis, I'm not Barbara but there are 66 "Edna Victoria"s between 1902 and 1920 - two of them with the surname of SMITH and of course the marriage(s) could be for a widow whose maiden name wasn't SMITH!

I found that as well, but discounted as it was the son. You will find him on the Electoral Rolls - I don't have a sub, but the listing comes up on Google - seach "Marshall James Neal McGuire" Have you tried looking for Marshall, Snr., death under Maguire? Cheers Barbara
