GLOVER was likely the birth name of Susan.
It looks as if she gave birth to Mervyn outside her marriage to George CLEMENT.
Perhaps she was a widow

GLOVER Mervyn
Dubbo
1904
Mother Susan

Thanks for that  information.     I still cannot find a link between the "Graham/e" family and the guardian Susan Clements.      The guardian for Elizabeth May was apparently a family member, something to do with the Astil family. 

There may be no link at all, but still there is always a chance!!
 Both parents were deceased when she married, so maybe an appointed guardian.

Appreciate all the help that has been given.

Well this is certainly a "solid" brick wall that I have hit!!

Received emails back from the Librarian services of the Presbyterian Church archives, who very nicely told me that they did not hold the marriage records for Eulomogo Presbyterian Church.   He directed me the Anglican Archives in Parramatta, who he said would hold the records for that period.

Today received a warm email back from the Anglican Archives in Parramatta, saying that the earliest marriage record for the Presbyterian church in Dubbo area is 1877.    Elizabeth Graham was married in 1874!!    They also kindly said that "We do not have any references that suggest an earlier Marriage Register for Dubbo Presbyterian Church area is held by another agency."

It was so easy to ask these services for help and they were more than willing to suggest an alternate source if needed.   

So, it's back to square one for me!!

I glimmer of hope!!! 

Have found that Susan Glover, the witness to Jane May's marriage was born in 1864 in Obley Siding...    So there has to be a connection to the Graham family... 

I'm still plodding along.  Awaiting Susan Glover's marriage certificate.   

Fingers crossed.

Received the marriage certificate transcript for Susan Glover and George Clements.

The only connection to Elizabeth Betsy Graham is that all were born in Obley.

Has anyone any ideas as to which direction I should now take, or is this the final "brick wall" and I will never know who the parents of Elizabeth Betsy Graham were!!!   :(

I appreciate all the help that I have received.
