Answer 2

You will need more than just their names, unless the names are so unusual that absolutely no one on the face of the earth has a name vaguely similar.

You will, of course, need date of death, for a start

Answer 3

I'm finding zero records for Leslie John Schellenberger (exact search), would he have gone by his middle name John?  If so, lots of records - - dates would certainly help.

Do any of these records from the Victoria, Australia Rural Cemetery Records, 1836-1988 database look familiar?:

Name: Archibald John McMillan

Birth: abt 1872

Death: 26 Dec 1957 - Victoria



Name: H John McMillan

Birth: abt 1863

Death: 2 Oct 1908 - Victoria



Name: John McMillan

Birth: abt 1863

Death: 14 May 1954 - Victoria



Name: Roderick John McMillan

Birth: abt 1814

Death: 12 Apr 1908 - Victoria



Name: John Alexander McMillan

Birth: abt 1869

Death: 4 Aug 1928 - Victoria



Name: John Francis McMillan

Birth: abt 1921

Death: Abt 1922 - Victoria



Name: John Stanley McMillan

Death: Abt 1975 - Victoria



Name: John William McMillan

Birth: abt 1914

Answer 4

http://www.tedpack.org/obit.html

lists fourways to get obituaries, with more links than they allow you to paste in an answer. In ALL cases you'll need to know who the name, death date and death place. It is based on my experience in the USA, but things can't be that much different in kangaroo land, even though you drive on the wrong side of the street.

Answer 5

Since I do not desire to look through 80 years of obituaries, a date would be nice to include if you really want help.
