... Possibly the Mrs Mary Elizabeth McGovern who set sail for Australia on 8 Dec 1927, with a son.
... Modified to add:
They sailed on the Berrima. Her address 162 Chatham St, Abercromby, Liverpool. (image on Ancestry)
Super helpful! Thank you. The Berrima arrived in Adelaide on 25 January 1928, with Mrs Mary E MCGOVERN (aged 44) and John Wallace (aged 18) (https://www.archives.sa.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0005/839156/GRG_41_34_0_555-1928_Berrima.pdf).

A John Wallace MCGOVERN died on 5 October 1966 (aged 57), in Woodville Gardens in South Australia (https://www.genealogysa.org.au/resources/online-database-search). So definitely the one!
Which explains why no children were mentioned on her death notice in 1980, perhaps no grandchildren (tbd).

Thank you. Unfortunately, the public SA arrival records (searchable passenger lists) end in 1924 (https://www.archives.sa.gov.au/finding-information/discover-our-collection/migration-and-crew/immigration-passenger-lists). But I might be able to see when she arrived in Australia from her death registration (forthcoming).

GRO Index (it shows mother's maiden name.)

Graham, Mary Elizabeth reg. Cockermouth December quarter 1883  vol 10B page 556
Mother's maiden name Wallace
Thank you - I agree that's the most likely birth.

In case you don't have an Ancestry subscription, here is the 1891 on familysearch:

Thank you. Yes, that looks like her and family.

Is this your Graham family in 1891:

Sorry, I can't see that as it is behind a paywall.

Cumberland / Mary Elizabeth GRAHAM, born Maryport c1883
« on: Saturday 02 March 24 08:21 GMT (UK)  »
Hello. I am wondering if one of you kind people with knowledge of Cumberland could please help with this.

Mary Elizabeth GRAHAM was born around 1883 in Maryport, Cumberland, the daughter of Joseph GRAHAM. I know this from her marriage registration (under the name Mary Elizabeth MCGOVERN in South Australia in 1928). She married on 3 November 1928 aged 45 years (birth c1883). She died on 19 December 1980 aged 97 years (birth c1883). Further details on sources are available here: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Graham-16368.

I am unclear which registration district Maryport would have been in, as Maryport itself is not a district (https://www.freebmd.org.uk/county-map.html).

Assuming the approximate year of birth and locality are correct, she could be one of the following (From FreeBMD):

Surname    First name(s)        District    Vol    Page
Births Mar 1882   (>99%)
GRAHAM    Mary Elizabeth        Penrith    10b   396
GRAHAM    Mary Elizabeth         Cockermouth    10b   510
Births Jun 1882   (>99%)
GRAHAM    Mary Elizabeth         Whitehaven    10b   601
Births Sep 1882   (>99%)
GRAHAM    Mary Elizabeth         Carlisle    10b   494
Births Dec 1883   (>99%)
GRAHAM    Mary Elizabeth         Cockermouth    10b   556
GRAHAM    Mary Elizabeth         Carlisle    10b   481
Births Mar 1884   (>99%)
Graham    Mary Elizabeth         Penrith    10b   446
Births Sep 1884   (>99%)
GRAHAM    Mary Elizabeth         Longtown    10b   490

Thanks for any guidance

Craig
