Hi Wendy, Thank you very much for the Undertaker information. I feel sure that if they were in business in 1891 then they were sure still to be operating their business ten years later, so I am confident that your information is that which I seek. The name of the man who drowned in the Murray at Yarrawonga was David Clark, from Burramine, but originally from Ayrshire Scotland. David and his two brothers, William Clark and Andrew Scott Clark migrated early 1860s, the latter two with a wife and young children each, but David married in Burramine to an Elizabeth Thom who was from Burramine but of Ayrshire parents. If we have a connection it would be wonderful.
