Subject: RE: [AVNE] John DUGGAN - Thomas Irving, undertaker

Hi Anne,
I have quite a few obituaries from the Wangaratta area which have
Thomas Irving as undertaker and "conducting the funeral
arrangements". The earliest reference in my obits is 1886 and they go
to 1911, when it became "Irvings" and "Irvings Pty Ltd"
regards
Kaye
