Hi Bernadette,
I just had a look at the Dec 1906 death certificate of Elizabeth's mother, at Adelong; Mary SCOTT
I can see that she had two sons with David SCOTT and one pre-deceased her. He was William SCOTT, and his death notice is in the Tumut Advocate, 28 Feb 1905.

He died 22 Feb 1905.
380/1905 SCOTT WILLIAM DAVID MARY ADELONG
Maybe, this is the death of Mary's SCOTT's last husband, David SCOTT in 1868?
