Thanks Debra
I'll have to check with Williamstown Cemetery why the map shows her as Richardson.
I thought she must have been married but that doesn't seem to be the case

Thank you Debra - that is very useful information about how to search Vic BDMs.Also, I'm not sure which Ellen you are referring to - Ellen Martin or Ellen O'Donoghue

Thank you for your assistance with Lena
I am also seeking information about her sister Catherine (Kate) and brother Patrick
I have Kate's death certificate but can't find any definitive birth details - from her death cert it looks like she was born around 1873.
She was buried in Williamstown Cemetery but under the name of Richardson.
Her death cert lists her as "Spinster"
Her brother Patrick I don't have information about - suspect he died at birth
Any ideas ?
Many thanks

Hi Chempat,
Yes - all that information is correct.
All our family records just show her as Lena so that is how I have searched for her.
She did die in Ararat but I'm not sure why she was there as she was buried in Williamstown with most of the other O'Donoghues.
I don't believe she ever married.
Many thanks for the research!

Can anyone help me find birth information about my great Aunt Lena O'Donoghue.
I have birth certificate details of her sister Ellen (my grandmother) so I assume Lena was born in Victoria AUS around 1875-1880.
I have checked the Vic.BDM website and put in as many variations of O'Donoghue I can think of but still no luck.
Any ideas?
