Can't find any Victor Mather at Springvale Cemetery, however there is one who died 21/8/1971 at Altona Memorial Cemetery Location CGO TC 013 >Victor was >married twice.

I did find a marriage of a Victor Mather to a Muriel Marshall in >1922 but not sure about this. Agree this marriage reg # 12439 Muriel Marshall date of birth 26/7/1902 She died 22/12/2000 and is in Altona Memorial Cemetery location CGO TC 014 (which is right beside Victor) This could be your Victor and his first wife (with maybe the children putting their parents back together) Suggest you check the death notices in the Melb Herald Sun for Victor and Muriel. You might be lucky and get some details of children and other family. Which would confirm everything. Nothing in the Ryerson Index. There are 3 Florence Mather(s) in the Springvale records. 1 buried at Fawkner with death 1933 (Might be his mother) You might need to buy a couple of certificates to confirm tho.
