I don't think that's Hugh. The long down stroke makes it look more like Myra. Is the child make or female, do you know?

Sorry i only know the first 2 children were girls as they were born in NSW, 1896 & 1897. Ellen M d 1896 & Anne was shown as Anne R ?

The mother's death cerificate was 1901 but she had only been living in Victoria for 2 years,38 yrs in NSW.

 I contacted VIC BDM but she thought the 3rd child's name was Mavis Mrytle, i do not see that.

I have looking for the children's names as i am trying to find their father George Henry Dunne info. He was born in Camden , m 1895 Randwick, occup - grocer.  Their Victorian home was for sale 1902 as moving to Sydney.Then i lost him, there are too many maybes!
I have spent hours on Trove - no luck

I would see Charles before Mavis for the third child and the second name could possibly be Myles.
If you look closely at the lines of the first letter of each second name they seem to be the same and possibly an M

Ellen M d 1896

Ellen is "Ellen M R"


I found these 2 death notices one under the other in The Argus 24 Jul 1901. Did poor George Henry loose his wife and mother in the same week?

DUNNE.-On the 19th July, at "Waverley," corner     
of Loch and Deakin streets, St. Kilda, Anne the dearly beloved wife of George Henry Dunne, aged   40 years. Calm is the sleep of the just.
DUNNE.-On the 21st July, at Prince Alfred Hospital Sydney, Mary Jane, the dearly beloved mother of George Henry Dunne of "Waverley,"
Loch and Deakin streets, St. Kilda, aged
Gadsby's, Farmers, Neals - Leicestershire
Freemans, Littles, Corbetts, Branns - Australia
