Now to try and trace him to see if there any relatives. Something to do over Xmas frank

I regret I do have access to Australian Family History records - however I have found a Richard Wilson Parker (died 7 May 1919), son of Richard Parker (died 1896), buried in Melbourne General Cemetery. May not be your man.
