Hi
Myra was cremated and is at Woronora General Cemetery in Sutherland, which is
a suburb not far from Hurstville. The are several Robert FORBES also at
Woronora and the only one where the age nearly matches your one, died 28
August 1969 aged 80. His ashes are not far from Myra's so it could be him.
