If you change your title to include Australia, then those with knowledge and access to Australian records can see and help you.

Hi Lyndel.

yes I thought the death notice would be the mother....

just I had seen a death notice for Kathleen DAWS and hope she wasn't who you where looking for.... but by year of birth I don't think so?

If you get the death notices it may give you some leads, with son-in-laws, daughter -in-laws or grandchildrens names....

Helen.
