Ravenswood (for the month of July 1888) George Royes 'To cut Firewood' 10 shillings (AU$0.10). There is a male "H ROYES" listed in the Home Hill Cemetery died 5 Jan 1934 and buried 6 Jan 1934 in grave #369, aged 90, cause of death senility. I believe this is George Hougham Royes but would be aged 87 - I need further confirmation before changing his data. There is also a "J ROYES" in the Home Hill Cemetery list and I suspect this is his wife, Jane.
