I wonder if we can find what ship she emigrated on?

I think she must have left NZ in 1928 or 1929 at the latest.

p.s. Thanks for the champagne, Janette! ;D

Would it be easier to locate the arrival into Oz rather than departure from here?  Just a thought.

Time I contributed something useful. One of Mary's daughters was a nurse...

There's a possibility she is still alive.

The F stands for Frances. If you search Australia Archives you'll find her Navy Service Record as well as d.o.b (1934) and her sister's name. And google her with Cerberus too.

Her sister was/is a nurse as well.

Sorry Spades. I was going to get others involved as I said but ended up watching the rugby. Maybe tomorrow.

Regards
Beg
