Una Grace Guest
« on: Saturday 30 January 21 07:04 GMT (UK) »
I am looking for information about my great aunt Una Grace Guest. She was born in 1887 in Richmond, Victoria to Emily Frances Mallan and William George Guest, Vic BDM reg 23083/1987.
She is mentioned in her mother's death notice as Grace (Mrs Stark) in 1926.I have not been able to find any marriage record for her, or any other information. Would appreciate any help.Thank you.

In Memoriam for her mother, 1928, Grace is there with no husband or children mentioned, yet those of her siblings are.

2nd column: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article202307815

Then, in 1930, she isn’t mentioned at all, 4th column: http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article203082282

I’ve had no luck finding other references to her.

She is not buried with folks, or brother William at Fawkner Cemetery. Not buried with sister Ruby, at Burwood Cemetery. Not with sister Eileen, at Springvale cemetery.

I found Vernon in my searches. There are some interesting mentions of him on Trove. Death in QLD:

I am thinking this may be her in NSW, with incorrect mother recorded, given that Alma, Rita and Vernon were living in Sydney:

Thank you very much for your help in solving that for me. Another brick wall comes down! I have seen articles about Vernon in Trove - quite a character with a very colourful history!!
