Leanne, you are correct, that is a nephew and his wife. A thought has just occurred to me, but I have to be a bit careful as the nephew's half brothers and sisters are still alive (but none in Australia) and also his daughter who may be in Australia:
The father of this nephew was Walter, whose address in Formby (Lancashire) Nellie left from to go to Australia. She would have known the nephew and his brothers. Prior to moving to WA, the nephew and his wife lived in South Africa - Durban, I think. Yesterday I was reading through a great pile of letters written by my father (cousin of above nephew) and he described his journey in early 1942 by boat from England to India though without a lot of detail to avoid the censors pen. He implies he spent 4 days at Durban "within a few minutes of Auntie's (something) address, so near yet so far". He doesn't say which Auntie, but there is only one not accounted for at this time; that's Nellie.
I will scan the section in a minute and post it on the deciphering board to see if anyone can read the missing word. I wonder if we're off to South Africa on this quest?
