Wow, thanks for all that Gins,
Yes she was a nurse early on in her career apparently.
Was hoping to pinpoint her birthdate if at all possible, as her sister Mildred was also born in 1924 as well.

Hi Robyn

This site is government approved so you could have a look and see if you can order her birth certificate


http://tinyurl.com/nfk4v6n

Added: Just had a look at the above site and it looks like you need her date of birth!

Her death certificate should give you that, that might be easier to obtain!

https://online.justice.vic.gov.au/bdm/index-search

After fiddling around with the search engine, you only seem to get a result if you omit Mckinney as the family name, and go with the father's surname of Chesnutt, her first names and 1988 in the first year box.

Although not what you were asking for, the Australian NA hold an immigration file on William Hudson McKinney
