She was born in Wales in 1871, she married a Davies but he died in 1905. I have found a tree that has her as Coutts, in Sydney parish registers, Burials , electoral registers etc.
Can anyone find more about her please. I only have UK ancestry so am limited.

Her birth was registered Mar qtr 1874 Wrexham
I don't have worldwide access but can find a marriage (can't view full details) to Joseph C Coutts in Sydney
there is an emigration record for Mrs Bertha Alice Davies address 12 Dalton Rd going to Sydney on 7 Jun 1924 but she is age 35

Death registered in Canterbury district (suburb of Sydney) died 5th June 1938

Because her mother's name is missing from the index (and probably the certificate, there is a little extra information
Age at death 62 YRS Place of death CAMPSIE
(If she was born in 1871, the informant thought she was a little younger :) - 62 at death gives a birth year of 1876)

Not sure why the DD is noted as 5 June 1938, NSW BDM online index drills down to 5 October 1938.
ADD ...
:) Reply 2 already gave DD as 5 Oct 1938.
:) NSW BDM has marriage as registered in 1910, so cannot be married 4 July 1911. Drills down at NSW BDM to 4 July 1910 :)
