Hi there,

May I please ask which of the Houston families are your ancestors?   I may have some info to share.

Cheers,  JM

 Thanks , i purchased JH Houston's  1985 death certificate &  looked  & obtained info from Trove, NSW BDM & QLD BDM.

Also William Bell & Mabel Helen Houston's Newspaper obituary & JH Houston & Marion Houston's  Newspaper obituaries. (Sent from Illawarra & QLD libraries.)
 
I did not obtain any info from online family trees.

That is where the confusion starts ?

[majm]

Do you have copy of the 1975 death registration for Mabel Helen LEWIS?

Cheers,  JM
