Savill Index of The Advertiser Funeral Notices - 1971 - 2014

Claude Walter Sears -   1998-01-19
Dorine Mary Sears -  1997-07-25

There was a notice of engagement Claude Sears to Dorine Morrison - The Advertiser - Adelaide - 12 August 1937

The engagement is announced of Dorine, second daughter of Mr and Mrs  W G Morrison Kongorong to Claud, youngest son of Mr and Mrs Sears, 36 Ivy Street, Ottoway.

Marriage - Border Watch - Mount Gambier - 29 April 1939

http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/78111387?searchTerm=Wilma morrison&searchLimits=

If the family of Morrison I found above is the correct one, then we are looking at immigration for William. Lilian and Family between 1921 and 1937  ;)

The Advertiser - Adelaide - Friday 23 December 1932 - examination lists  mentions Dorine M Morrison -



The Border Watch (Mount Gambier)  - Thursday Evening 21 March 1929 - article on Kongorong Public School sports Day -

A prize of a silver bracelet was awarded to the winner of the single ladies race was won by Miss Dorine Morrison. In a girls 10 - 12 year old race that was won by a Norma Morrison. Also a girls 10 - 12 handicap mentions a W Morrison (could be Wilma)

Cuts down the date of immigration from 1st June 1921 (date of 1921 Canadian Census - 21 March 1929 date of this publication)

The Register - Adelaide -  Friday 31 December 1926

Speaks o an annual school concert in he Kongorong Hall which mentions Morrison children. THe school had also obtained 80 per cent passes at the examination - Dorine Morrison was second with 82 - Wilma Morrison was top of the lower grades with 92. Six scholars sat the qualifying examination - included in this was Vesta Morrison.

http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/54827971?searchTerm=dorine morrison&searchLimits=

Gradually cutting that immigration time frame down to between 1 June 1921 and 31 December 1926
