Was just looking on myheritage theres a william lewis who died in 1920 in Narracorte & an Elizabeth lewis who died in 1911 which would fit (her death wasnt overly specific in the article)

My heritage lists 5 kids, 3 of which are adults

Think this is our guy

I cant find anything to confirm these Lewis brothers were your fellas. Im assuming they may have been cause their mother married Grimsdale the following year. But then lots of Lewis's around.
