If you get his death certificate, it should give the names of any children he had. You can get it directly from the BMD site I gave you, but it's cheaper to get a transcription: http://www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/familyHistory/howToSearch.htm

If his parents' names are JOHN WILLIAM and VIOLET MAY he died in PORT MACQUARIE, NSW in 1973. NORMA ALICE J STRONG, daughter of THOMAS GORDON and ETHEL MAY, died in BALMAIN , NSW in 1968.
