Thanks gibbo.

I had death and funeral notices from SMH but not that one.

I only have the one marriage. He is buried with the one he married in 1856.

The Sydney Morning Herald - Mon 19 Oct 1885 p.1
Deaths.

Ok, ... he has left a widow ...

Born Edinburgh is not Dunfermline so one has to be wrong.

No birth on SP that fits for Dunfermline.

Can't use naming pattern as they had six daughters.

Just in case you didn't have her full name, if the memorial is correct that is.

Mon 18 Oct 1886
THOMSON.—In loving remembrance of my beloved wife, Graham Gilston Thomson, who departed this life October 17, 1885, aged 56 years. Inserted by her fond husband. Probation done, eternity begun, oh, happy change to be amongst the perfected.
