Hi Deidre :)

I see you have a new username.  For those wishing to help Deidre, her former username was JACKEROO and there is much about her COOK family on various threads.

The birth reg which I would have given to you on the tree I compiled for you some years ago.

Birth
COOK Mabel Ruth
6 Feb 1903
Father Not recorded  Mother Elizabeth COOK
At Walkerville  Ade 707/344

Marriage
KENNY Stanley Mark  25 years  Status Single  Father Thomas Michael KENNY
COOK Mabel Ruth  27 years  Status Single  Father Unrecorded
6 Feb 1930
At St Thomas Roman Catholic Church, Naracoort  Rob 332/330

Death
KENNY Stanley Mark  55 years  Status Married  Relative M R KENNY [Widow]
8 Sep 1960
Residence Mount Gambier   Death Place Gladstone Cla 912/5740

There are also a number of public trees on Ancestry.   According to these trees, Mabel Ruth died 6 Jul 2008 in Adelaide.

Have you made contact with any of the tree owners?

Cheers
Cando

Deidre your Mabel Ruth was in previous research and it takes little research to find her mother, siblings etc.  Mabel also had an entry on the GEDCOM I sent you.
 
Don't you recall the information I gave you about Mabel Ruth COOK in this post
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=469792.msg3300147#msg3300147

How fortunate to find the name of the unknown father from a birth in 1903. Tree owners have his name as Walter G MILLSTEAD.   He was possibly born in  Jul 1885 in SA, married in 1913 in WA and died in 1945 also in that state.  If it is the same man, and I cannot find another Walter G MILLSTEAD born in Australia, he was very young to have fathered a child born in Feb 1903.

There are many public trees and one private trees on Ancestry. Have you contacted all the owners of those trees?  I haven't searched any of the other websites that host trees.

I find it odd that your contact knew Mabel Ruth had died but didn't know her name.  I would imagine that her death at such a great age would have been newsworthy in SA.  I cannot see a death for a Mabel Ruth with a notice published in the South Aus papers between 2005 and 2008 on the Ryerson Index.  Of course it is possible that the edition with a notice has not been transcribed.  It is possible there was no funeral notice.

Another public tree has a note in connection with the father of Mabel Ruth COOK ::).
Believed to be George Robert THOMPSON 

This is the man that Elizabeth COOK, her mother married in 1909.

The Walkerville Babies Home opened on 27 Aug 1915 and only accepted children from one year of age with preference being given to those from the Convent of Mercy.

A snip for your family tree.  Mention of Mr and Mrs Stan KENNY and child from Mt Gambier at Stan's parents Golden Wedding Anniversary.
