This post is primarily for my son, but I'm happy to share the news.
I've just found a newspaper article in the Sydney Morning Herald of 29 December, 1925 that notes the passing of my great grandfather William Farquharson (b. 1842 Braemar, Scotland, d. 25 December, 1925), father of my grandmother Catherine May Farquharson (b. 1881 Winchelsea, d. 1963) , who married my grandfather Charles Winter Clarke (b. 1873 Warwick, Queensland, d. 1949, Kew).
William Farquharson constructed many of the bridges in rural Victoria.
