I am doing further research on this person, unfortunately due to COVID-19 its impossible for me to get to the State Library of NSW. I have purchased B. H. Fletcher's History and Achievement in the meantime to see what I can mine from this - will have more to add once I get this. - Chris.sherlock (talk) 10:53, 13 April 2020 (UTC)Reply
