Find Ancestors

I am trying to discover what happened to my great grandfather's first cousin mentioned above.
She was born on the 16th August 1854 at Sturt River, Adelaide, South Australia - the daughter of John Manson Bailey and Susan Serjeant.
I have not been able to find any records about her after her birth.

Hi David

I can see her birth but nothing after that, as you.

You could try asking a very experienced, excellent Oz researcher, you'll find her here
