Hello Pam, and welcome to RootsChat!

As you see, we're having a bit of trouble finding details, so anything else you can tell us would be helpful!

I found this death on FreeBMD:

Deaths Sep 1918
FAZEY  Susan
Aged 85
Newport P. 3a 942

However, she doesn't match your other info, as she seems to be married to Henry Fazey/Feasey (several spelling variations!) on earlier censuses.   ???

Susan died in Australia, buried Colac, Victoria. Not sure where she was born, maybe Australia, don't know if parents born Australia or Ireland.

FRANCIS FRECKLETON, George's father, left a will and his sons and wife made application for probate.

He bequeathed generous tracts of land to all 4 of his children and allowed for MARIA.
