Morning Denise I am pretty sure I have seen this name in 'my travels'. Can you pin point his death date rather then just the year? If so, easy for me to look thru CC for you for any death report. If not, I can trudge my way thru 1918.....

Chris, he was buried 7 th May 1918 in Tallangatta. Wife is unknown at this minute - however I am about to go thru the 49 pages of BDMms I've just sent the Canadian connection.

Hi Chris, There is a locality out between benalla and Thoona area known as Chesney. No township, just a farming area.
