Hi Philadelphia,
Ahhaa. It helps when I have ALL the info.
This 1873 marriage record made a breakthrough, for me. It included the full name of Mr Thomas PINNEY.
Name: Thomas Bryant Pinney
Spouse: Ellen Power Catharine Welch
Father of Groom: Daniel Pinney
Marriage: 3 Mar 1873 - St Saviour, Chelsea
Father of Bride: Edward WELCH
NOTE: The word "Catharine", is actually "otherwise", looking at the original marriage certificate dated 3 March 1873.
From there, I found his (Thomas Bryant PINNEY) Intestate Estate Notice published at Bairnsdale, 17 Aug 1901.
