"Paul Blair" wrote in message news:lal2dd$fu4$1@dont-email.me... I'm trying to locate the death of William Harvey BROOKMAN, who most likely died in Burnie, Tas in the late 1950s. He was a local pharmacist ("next to Coles") and seems to have had a daily radio spot (15 mins) after the evening news. He married twice - I believe his second wife lived to be over 100! Paul Winnifred Mary Brookman left a Will (Tasmania) she died 1954 aged 65. If William married again it must have been very soon afterwards if he died late 1950's There is only the one Brookman Will in Tasmania up to 1989. I couldn't find a Death notice for him. As William was born in Victoria I have checked Deaths to 1983 and Wills in that State to no avail. Paul where did you get the information that he married a second time? Regards, Kate Sydney, Australia

Died in 1974. His second wife was his sister-in-law, born Lydia Joy Ferguson in 1892. She married William's brother, Claude, and when he died, William, soon after the death of his first wife (that's just family say-so). I have a death date of 1997 (105?) for her, which I'm unsure of. Thanks to everyone... Paul
