Have you ruled out this birth Tony suggested on your other thread?

S.A registered births shows a Olive Gwendoline WESTOVER
13th Nov 1914.....
Place: Kent Town, Norwood........
Father: [ Unrecorded ] .....
Mother: Doris Ida Myrtle WESTOVER

Doris b. 1892 SA. Birth to a single mother seems to fit...tho age is not right.

Doris had another child, Ronald, in 1912 (the year her father died). No further trace of Ronald or Olive as WESTOVER.

Doris married in 1916 to Richard BATES.

of the grave site of an aboriginal lady that your Gran took, do you have the details of that photo? It may assist us in helping you.

The birth date you have of 1914 doesn't seem right if she died in 1985 aged 76 (although I realize that ages given on death certificates can be wrong).

Could you put a link to your previous query, so we can see what suggestions have already been made?

Do you mean that she was unofficially adopted by the Bradey family, but already had the names Olive Ellen Gwendoline?

Thank-you
