Looks like the W family have dual passports and do a lot of traveling!
What is the fathers business ?? It isn't a small cafe in Sydney that is for sure.
Pretty Sure I am ruling that one out.
Starts here:
Incoming Passenger Cards - Aircraft - 1964
  • Page 2297

Session expired | RecordSearch | National Archives of Australia

Every male on this story seems to be a "company director" !
Is this a timeshare thing happening:cool:
I looked up Norfolk Island and seems it was famous for its beautiful beaches and 1980s tax dodges....A 2hr 30min flight from Sydney which he did 3 times for 3 days in 1964..hmm
 
My post wasn't related to Walkers, but to the NZ MJR Butcher who I believed had been discussed previously.

Yes sorry , i meant to include that in my post that i had ruled that one out along with the other MJR from NZ with the curly hair as well ,
It was getting to hard to entertain too many suspects at once IMO

I am getting glitches with posts , time to log out for me ..sweet dreams everyone
 
1982 -1986 UK and Europe
1987 ? Woodenbong (after D dH father and mother died?)
Goonellabah (built house)
Tasmania - Mid way point (to care for sick uncle
1994 Ballina? (Le Courrier Australien ad)
1995 Wonka FOUR Trips to Europe
Ballina (approx. 1996)
Wollongbar (approx. 1997)
Ballina
Clovelly- with Daughter (approx. 2001)
Lived at Cessnock - near sister
Does anyone know what year?

I have found a business name Shredded FX is that the real deal? Or some fake shake? registered 2005 to MJR with Cessnock address (with a wonky looking Ute and trailer on Google street view.:D )
and another address in Sans Souci (art gallery and collectables) cake shop next door.
for Your address timeline - I’m fairly confident 1992 was Midway Point quite possibly some of 1991 too. After finding a record on wayback machine of son holding a time record for 2 swimming races (12 year olds) in 1992 from Top of The World Pool in Hobart. Posted it a couple of pages ago.
 
Which really means writing and responding to personal ads (lol printing/advertising). Crazy. This one has to be our RB.

Despite the ABN being active, there doesn't appear to be any active trading businesses in the name of either Nomads Brochures or VIP Brochures around Ballina on Google or yellowpages. Has he really used his dead FILs identity to gain an ABN? (Probably shouldn't be surprised) Has it been used for other purposes? Is it another alias?
 
FOUR WEEKS TO GO FROM TODAY :D before the inquest recommences in BB. Let's hope the rain abates for the residents in this part of Australia, and for the next interesting part of this hearing to go ahead and some of the sleuths discoveries are addressed. :)

Interesting, just looking at DDH's mother's death notice and note RB was called "Ricky" in that notice - I had thought he went as Ric, Rick and Richard but don't think I'd heard him referred to as Ricky. This was in 1988.

It's typically Australian to add a "y" to the end of a name eg my son's name is Mark and his cousins call him "Marky".

@Jamaha Do you have the date of death and any notices pertaining to DdeH's father, please?
 
Bit of a long ramble here goes. Yes there seems to be an abundance of Australian business names and numbers ABN's for both names MJR and RGW in various forms from sole trader to Pty. Ltd. to family Trusts with various addresses. I don't know if any are set up by RB, Forensic accountant best bet there.
The early RGW travel would suggest overseas tax havens. Norfolk island, (Vanuatu is another tax free haven popular in the 80's 90's accountants can do that without leaving Australia)

Customs brokers import/export licences, duty and taxation of imports. Transportation shipping containers by seafreight (remember he imported a container load of books) and that elusive JAL director.
Wonder if he used aliases for trademark registrations. Land developments or cattle industries register, beef import/export. Vet bills. Sales.
RSL memberships, bank transfer credits into bank accounts taxation, list goes on, RB on disability pension and D deH on carers pension. The big payout while he was in Switzerland in 60's plus Belgian pension and Wife's Parents Inheritance! That goes through the probate office/ solicitors.
What happened with all the money. Monte Carlo Gambling/ RSL pokies / horse racing ? or property investment?
The NZ butcher a possible connection or was that ruled out ? and daughter at Casino Beef being clues?
Does anyone know how to search free online docs for NZ, Norfolk island and Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Bali.

Now that RB has been exposed I hope it has jolted the memory of Marion's siblings, work colleagues, art centre friends, neighbours and old friends.

While I'm writing this my main concern is still. Where is Marion! And I'm feeling frustrated. All the twists would be horrible for Marions family.
