A search in the Victoria Papers may show obituaries of Eliza in 1917 and Paul in 1937 - with names of any children. If you feel that the above are the family you are researching - Either I or other list members can take a look at the registrations for you - copy the registrations if you wish. The newspapers can be searched for the obituaries. Hope the above will be of some help.
