Thank you again . This lady seems to be everywhere. In 1918 she was in London and in 1922 she gave her address in Leeds. from the Electoral Rolls you have found it looks as if she has not married
I have sent messages to the trees on here but unfortunately it is hit and miss if they are live accounts.
Thanks
Barbara

The FMP 1935 New Zealand electoral register that Jacqueline put up is for an Emma Jane Scurrah, spinster of 287 The Terrace.

The FMP 1939 Australia, Victoria electoral register that Jacqueline first put up is for an Elizabeth Jane Scurrah of Hurdcott, Terrick East

The FMP 1946 Victoria listing is also for Elizabeth Jane Scurrah of 16 Nirvana Ave (Nurse)

There is this marriage listing for a Jean Scurrah (Jean/ Jane are often interchangeable), but it is in NSW:

Yvonne............

Her birth isn't being queried

She emigrated under her maiden name in 1922

This is probably the one who married

Yes Barbara, I knew that.........as you will see, I pointed it out to Yvonne

Have you done anything about trying to trace relatives in the UK who may have info?

I think Philip may have gone to Canada, so not a lot of point in pursuing his line
