I am appalled that the researchers have got this wrong as has your newspaper.

It is not difficult to research the coroner's report of 1936 to ascertain correct spelling, and to think none of Roy's descendants were invited to the celebration only shows how incompetent your historians are.

Also my grandfather's wife was not paid by the shire or public works whatever it was called back then for the steel and timber he had purchased, which left my grandmother with two young children 7 and 5 on hard times.

Myself and Roy's other four granddaughters would like this matter rectified immediately as to correct spelling of his name.
