I am looking for information on my grand parents Joseph Lawless Brophy and Eileen Butler. They had three children Mary, Eileen and Leo. My grandfather was a Post Master in various town in Victoria. Ararat being one of them. He retired in early 1950's.

Eileen Butler was born in Allendale.

hi eilsjo,

I found a marriage announcement in The Argus (Melbourne) that read:
BROPHY - BUTLER - On the 6th January 1921 at St Mary's Star of the Sea, West Melbourne (nuptial mass) by the Rev. James BROPHY (brother, relative ??), Joseph Lawless, seventh son of Mrs. and the late Thomas P. Brophy, Northcote (late of Stawell), to Eileen, younger daughter of William P. and the late Mrs BUTLER, of Wonthaggi

hope this bit of info may jog someones memory
