Elvira Adepha DICKSON

[ndasto]

Hi - I have been advised by others in the know that someone may be able to help me!  I am looking for Elvira Adelpha Dickson  :)and all I know is that she arrived Australia in the 1920's, where she married twice (Moe and Lyons).  On her daughter's birth certificate it states Elvira was born in 1905 in "Edinborough" but no-one on the Scottish chat site can find any record of her anywhere.  Anything would be welcome!! Thanks.  Angela

In the other thread you state you traced her immigration?

Do you know what state she was in?

[ndasto]

Now you're asking!  She landed in Fremantle and I don't think she moved far away.  Angela

Further to above - she landed 21st August 1928.  Angela

HI Again,
I can also see on the records of the National Archves which are searchable online, an index item for
 
MOE, Elvira and Arnie. dated 1940 to 1957.
I am not sure what it is about, but the file is listed OPEN meaning you can apply for further information.  There is a small charge.
