True, Wendy - but the change of name is a problem - if my guess is correct, it would not have been done by any official method. So how do I find the new name if there is no record?! Under his name given at birth, he did not die in most of the states of Australia. As money permits I am getting family marriage certs etc, that of is brother's second marriage.. to see if he appears anywhere there. Unlikely I feel. Never mind - I suspect I will never know in this world!

There should be an inquest if they died like that.
