NSW/BMD (on-line) shows Edwin Priestman died at Wollongong NSW 1969 (Reg No 34974/1969) -parents names Walter John & Daisy Priestman.
You MAY like to have a 'transcription agent' obtain/send a copy of death certificate to you (cheaper than buying one yourself) - it should show names/birthdates of his off-spring. (NSW/BMD site has list of 'transcription agents').
