This agrees with a death entry at http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html for John Craig registered Oct-Dec 1912 Londonderry. The same site has birth entries for Vivian Henry Craig 1877 (?) and Margaret Theo Denise Craig Oct-Dec 1896 Coleraine, presumably a child of one of the surviving Craig sons. I assume you will have seen Vivian Henry's WW1 service record at www.naa.gov.au/collection/recordsearch/index.aspx . Hope this helps.
