Dear Mary,

You are right on the date of his death. Pretty impressive funeral.
He had 13 children from his first wife and 7 from his second. The numbers
that survived him you quote are correct.

Regards
Brian

Dear Brian,
I looked in my Grolier Encyclopaedia and whilst there is plenty on Sir
Graham there is nothing on James or the wife of Benjamin.
However I note that you have Graham dying in 1901 whereas the Encyclopaedia
states he died on 25th January, 1904.
You must have been busy with your history of this family as it states he was
twice married and survived by eight children of the first marriage and seven
of the second!!!!
Mary of Melbourne
