Wonder if there was another family member in the street as well?  Of course there could be an error in the  funeral notice.

The lovely JudB sent me this via pm  from  the library

SMH Monday July 8, 1940
LEE - July 7 at her son's residence, 19 Challis St, Dulwich Hill, Stella Watts, beloved mother of Henry (dec), William (dec), Rose (Mrs J. Reilly), Jessie (Mrs H Pratt) and Arthur.  Aged 83 years.

Funeral
LEE - The relatives and friends of Mr and Mrs J REILLY, Mr and Mrs H PRATT, Mr and Mrs Arthur LEE, , and Mr and Mrs A SHOEBRIDGE are invited to attend the funeral of their dearly beloved mother, grandmother, sister and aunt, Stella Watts, to leave 19 Challis Rd, Dulwich Hill today after a service commencing at 3.15pm for the crematorium, Rookwood. 
Metropolitan Burial and Cremation Society Pty Ltd, Railway Pde, Burwood

So  no  mention of her sister Florence but her brother Arthur gets a mention.

Does  that mean Florence  has passed away?

  Thank you for your kind words Jenn 

It looks to me as if it could be either way for Florence at the time of Stella's death, but more likely she is deceased or surely her friends would have been invited too!

Now I was not firing on all cylinders at all today - I see we have the addresses given by Sue last Thurs.  So I was looking in the wrong places for the electoral rolls.

Can you find out which division and district Bankstown and Petersham are in, and I assume Crown St is Surry Hills? I'll try and be better tomorrow LOL.

Hi - some elecoral roll entries:

1909 Div Nepean; subdiv Bankstown, at Powell St, Charles labourer and Henrietta HD SCHNARNDORFF, (not there 1916)

1915 at 39 Dennison Road, Lewisham, Charles SCHNARNDORFF, labourer and Henrietta SCHNARNDORFF, home duties

1919  Div:South Sydney, subdiv: Surry Hills
SCHNARNDORFF Charles, traveller and Charlotte SCHNARNDORFF, shopkeeper at 439 Crown St, 

also searched:
1919 Div:Cook, subdiv: Newtown - to cover Wemyss St
        Div: Lang; sub Petersham According to the index Lewisham is covered by Petersham

Cando, in her first reply, suggested looking at the 1920 roll but it goes from 1919 to 1921 and there is no mention in 1921 in the subdivision of Petersham.

Jenn, I must admit to be a bit confused now as to which Cahrles is which and where Henrietta fits in.

I'd be very happy to have another go at electoral rolls if you give me the naes and addresses coz I may have missed some!

Cheers, Judith

Thanks very much Judith

Now  that is very interesting because Henrietta W was his daughter,

So  she is living with her father and no sign of Florence.

Perhaps  she has left or died between 1895  the year of  the marriage and 1909

1919  Div:South Sydney, subdiv: Surry Hills
SCHNARNDORFF Charles, traveller and Charlotte SCHNARNDORFF, shopkeeper at 439 Crown St, 

This would be his son and his wife Charlotte nee RANDALL


intriguing to say  the least.

What a brickwall this is proving to be, trying to  hope  someone in someones family  will  have any knowledge  of a  lady  from well over the 100 years now

I have found a few more of  the Schnarndorff family  members to add to my  tree on GU  in  the hope of a hit or two, one can only  hope.

Maybe she took up  with another man and lived in a defacto relationsphip taking his name,  who  knows
