The good news is that "Forerunners: the saga of a family of teachers" by Constance Tsidall includes considerable material on him. His photograph appears at the front endpaper. This book is out of print, but should be available through interlibrary loan from Latrobe City (the old La Trobe Shire) library, or Wellington Shire Library.
