I think the 1951 death William Frederick McMahon is your line as Mrs M. McMahon and Mrs R.J. Bright mentioned.

Im not sure this is the right person. The QL BDM gives me 1951   C1235   William Frederick   McMahon   -    Mother: Agnes Maria McMahon

So we have the middle name Maria which seperates the women. Im guessing this also rules out Millicent Fullelove as his spouse - marriage 1925?

There is a family tree on Ancestry which indicates that Kevin was adopted at birth by William and Margaret CREECH and changed his surname back to McMAHON when he was about 21.

Did Agnes raise any of the children?  They certainly knew she was their mother.

Cando, 'F' stands for WW1 deaths and most in Queensland were registered in 1922.

Im not sure this is the right person. The QL BDM gives me 1951   C1235   William Frederick   McMahon   -    Mother: Agnes Maria McMahon

So we have the middle name Maria which seperates the women. Im guessing this also rules out Millicent Fullelove as his spouse - marriage 1925?

Allow me to explain the connection:
Mrs BRIGHT is Vivian McMahon's niece (1953 article http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/118400798)
Vivian's brother is named as W.F. McMahon, so this must be William Frederick.
Mrs BRIGHT is also named in the 13/3/1951 funeral notice of William Frederick McMahon (of Bank Road Graceville), so this must be William's only daughter Gloria Felicity BRIGHT (see engagement/marriage link below) and William Frederick McMahon's wife is named as Mrs M. McMahon (so this must be Millicent Fullelove who he married on 29/6/1925)

BRIGHT-McMAHON engagement 1946 - http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/98380896
Gloria Felicity McMahon, only daughter of Mr & Mrs W.F. McMahon of Bank Road Graceville, to Raymond Joseph BRIGHT, only son of Mr & Mrs H. Bright ...
Also 'Bank Road Graceville' in both the engagement and funeral notice indicates this is the same man.

BRIGHT-McMAHON marriage 1947 http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/49660490
"with Glenda FALLELOVE as flower girl" (so again a connection to Millicent)

Therefore Agnes Maria McMahon looks like your line. As the funeral notice is 2 days after this death.
Death: 11/3/1951 C1235 William Frederick McMahon; Father -; Mother- Agnes Maria McMahon

Hi Dundee

I just found the info on ancestry - thats the first Ive heard of an adoption! Kevin would have one of two younger males in the household along with William (snr) and 6 sisters.

I dont know if she did raise any of the children. If she was working as a female servant I doubt she would have been able to hold down a job without help.

A fascinating story about Vivian McMahon. Me thinks he could well  be prone to good story telling... .

Engagement notice SMH 30 Aug1952
"McMAHON—HULME-MOIR The Engagement is announced of Louisa Beryl only daughter of Mrs V B Hulme-Moir, of Willoughby, to Vivian McMahon, in Korea, younger son of the late Mr and Mrs McMahon, of Queensland."  http://www.rootschat.com/links/0yye/
Marriage must not have taken place as Louisa Beryl Hulme-Moir died Sept 1989

Interesting - so he was in the Koran war under an alias probably because of his age then only lasted a month. Perhaps the shame of it killed off his marriage plans.
