Hi Edward,
  I was at NSW State records a couple of days ago and didn't have Sween McDonald on my list.  But next time (maybe in a few weeks) I can photograph Sween McDonald's and Margaret Binning's Probate files which may have death notices and extra clues. 

But perhaps you will get a better, earlier offer.   

cheers,
   Ros

Hi Barb,
  Welcome to rootschat 

  Hopefully Edward and LilyRose will be along soon - they should have been notified of your post if they haven't changed their e-mail addresses recently.

  How wonderful to have so much information about the family and their contribution to Australian history!

   You probably have these but just in case you don't, here is an obit to Minnie Lee who died in 1938 http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article249564533 and a death notice http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article17521867 Here is marriage notice for Alfred and Minnie http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article13431074.  And a very informative obit to Alfred LEE which mentions his association with David Mitchell (and the Mitchell Library collection) and the Banks Diary http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article246070828.   Such an interesting man!

adding : There is a probate record for Minnie Lee https://www.records.nsw.gov.au/item/629451 at NSW archives which I can photograph for you if you don't already have it.
