Wonder why they thought she was 21 when she died in 1918?
She was born at Carlton Women's Hospital.

Mmmm...

I am feeling a little unsure about the birth JM has posted.

Here is the birth registered in 1899 in Victoria.

Violet MENTHA, mother as Delia.  # 25024.

JM

There seems to be at least one other birth in the maternal name.

MENTHA Bedelia
Father Unknown
Mother Bedelia MENTHA
Year 1898
Reg 19504
At HOTHAM EAST
 
There are also a couple of deaths with Bedelia MENTHA as mother.

Bedelia Mentha the infant is also listed here

Sounds like she was not being cared for by her mother but a nurse (Children are under two years but not newborns)

So if you are not nursing your child you can have another pretty quickly, which might explain the close together birth registrations

However also listed is Violet Frances Mentha 1899, that is not Violet May?
