Mary Colville nee Douglas {born 1885)was the widow of Alexander Colville who died during the 1st World War. He married Mary Douglas in Selkirk scotland on 5th October 1906 .It would appear that in 18-9-1920 after the war she emigrated from London to Brisbane on the "Osterley" 128287. The record shows Mrs M Colville and master David{aged 3 in 1911 census}, Miss May. Miss M,and Miss M. with a destination of Sydney although the ship was to Brisbane. Somewhere along the line Alexander Colvilles 1st world war medals arrived in NZ and the current owners would like to hand them back to the family. Alexander is one of the many listed on our local War Memorial.
If you can help to hand back the medals it would be appreciated.
