Phillip I did a search for you, which seems to add to your knowledge. Bernard Hart died 12th Oct 1929 aged 70. (Baruch ben Avraham) His wife, Rachel Hart, died 6th May 1944. (Rachel bat Leib). Both tombstones in Sydney's Rookwood Jewish Cemetery. Esther R V Hart married Percy H Goldsmid in 1926 in Sydney. Unfortunately she died in 1928. Tombstone states Violet Goldsmid, died 9th Feb 1928 aged 38. Percy H Goldsmid died 21st Jany 1948 aged 77. Both tombstones in Sydney's Rookwood Jewish Cemetery. There is a possibility that Bernard and Rachel Hart's other children may have moved interstate.
