The above person in 1879 the son of George Wells Fox.

In 1900 he married Emma Brinnen ( the marriage cert is on FMP so I know this is correct)

Using the burials on this site I though he had died in 1941 but he his buried with Alice so I have discounted it unless Emma had died and he had remarried but as yet found no proof.

There is a George Frederick Fox buried in the General Cemetery in 1904 but it gives his age as 29 so I don't think this is correct either.

If any of you super sleuths can find the burial of

-----George and Emma I will be grateful

I can't find Emma or George Stanley Fox deaths there; nor a marriage for Clara Ellen Fox, so they may have settled elsewhere.

Thanks Terry for the info i have been away for a couple of days hence the late reply I shall have a closer study over the weekend. Still no trace then of George Frederick Fox and Emma so I wonder if they came back to the UK.

“Still no trace then of George Frederick Fox and Emma”

Billiongraves.com has them both at Dromana Cemetery, Victoria.1928 & 1968. See their headstone here:
