Kathleen Olive Brown (Milne)
« on: Saturday 21 October 17 09:50 BST (UK) »
I am trying to find information about Kathleen Olive Brown ( born Milne).

When she died in 19th April 1985 she was 72 years old.  So possibly born about 1913. 
In 1933 (Event registration number 7652) she married William Henry Brown (known as Bull) in Mildura.  He died in 1954 and she did not remarry.  They lived their married life in and around Mildura.
I have been unable to find her death registration or her birth. 
 I think she may have been visiting her son in South Australia when she died. 

Thanks for your help.

Ooh that sounds promising Jamjar.  I don't know anything about her family so can't confirm her parents names unfortunately, but in my wanderings through the system had not found a Kathleen O.  In the scheme of things Wilcannia is not that far from Mildura.  I will try to follow that up.  Thank you.

There is also a Milne connection in Wentworth where one of the daughters (possibly two) of Francis and Elizabeth is buried: https://billiongraves.com/grave/Elizabeth-Maude-Milne/13251090

The Alexander and Mavis on the headstone at the back of the photo are these:

Francis and Elizabeth have a son with middle name Pierre (I think possibly mistranscribed):

Thanks again Jamjar.  I would say that Phoebe was Mary.  Kathleen was always called Ol or Ollie.  She and her husband were buried in Merbein cemetery so they must have stayed close.

More pondering on my part as I was led to believe that she was related and not through her husbands side.  Looks like she was an honorary aunt.
