    3. Hello All, I have so many queries in my research of two families and this is another. I recently found my grandfather and although have been able to trace him back to England he came to Australia in 1916 approx. Came here with two brothers. One of them died in WW1 together with 3 other brothers who enlisted from England who also died. However, my grandfather came back to Australia and changed his name from Gratton to Grattan mainly we think to try to get away from his English wife who had arrived from England. He then enlisted in WW2 and was discharged in 1943 and died a few years later from unrelated causes. However when he was discharged from the Army he gave his address as Wolfdene Mornington and his papers were sent also to Craig Avon in the same area. Can anyone tell me how I can find out what he was doing at these addresses, what were they in the 1940's? I know Craig Avon is now a winery and Wolfdene is a hotel or guesthouse. I doubt very much that he would have owned either of them. Can anyone help. Thank you, Jeanette
