hi jan,
wonder if you could fnd out for me if the W. WENZEUL at Kambalda was Wilhelm (William) Wenzeul who died arond 1897. He may have been a pioneer of that area. He had a store in Widgiemooltha Gully but his name is sometimes spelt Wenzel so hard to find

He's up there buried in KAMBALDA (Red Hill)

No death certificate which was not unusual for the west. The grave just has a 'W Wenzeul' There were other graves but the wooden markers rotted away. can't even tell exactly how many. I'll see if I can find a wife and where Juliana comes from.
