Apparently when Carl's sister, Gladys Scott, died intestate someone in the family thought that Carl had been living and working in Cottesloe Western Australia as an electrician. And so an advertisement was put in newspapers by the family's solicitors to find him for the purposes of completing the disbursement of funds.
Here are the relevant parts extracted from a comment by "Jo" on Ciphermysteries.com
Gladys died intestate in July 1955.
As she didn’t have a will, the money in Gladys’ bank account and the money from the sale of a Commonwealth Bond was divided up between husband and Webb relatives:
50% to her husband Leslie William Scott
50% divided between Freda Keane, Doris Martin, Carl Webb and the children of Russell Webb: Doris Tomlinson, Ethel Holland, Charles Webb and Norman Webb.
The probate document indicates that on August 23 1956 (the date of the document) the Webbs believed that Charlie was alive (in Cottesloe?). The lawyers, H. H. Hoare, put out a newspaper advertisement in the Age on 22 October 1958
“Carl Webb, formerly of Cottesloe, Western Australia, Electrican – Would he or anyone knowing his whereabouts or death write to the undersigned who has information of benefit to Carl Webb in connection with the estate of his sister, Gladys May Scott.”
To me then the most probable place to look at would've been the cable station. Did Carl ever work there though?
Here are some links to background stories on the Cable Station.
