LILA G MAHER (nee Starr?)

[haney]

Hi Everyone
   I am trying to find any details on a LILA G MAHER who was living at 19 Thorncraft parade Campsie as of 12 June 1963.

This information comes from the death certificate of William Joseph STARR 11 June 1963 where Lila states that she is his daughter!

Lila was 49 in 1963.  Her mother is Lila Beatrice McCool (sometimes refered to as EULELIA!)

Lila G Maher maybe either illegitimate OR the daughter of Lila Beatrices first marriage to a NORMAN McPHERSON in Sydney 1921

She may be his Step-daughter but I would still like to find some information on her, marriage to a Mr. MAHER? (which I cannot find!) or her death.

Anyway I thought it may be possible to find out something on LILA G MAHER nee??? McCOOL/McPHERSON/STARR.

Thanks for any advice or help.  Kindest regards Dianna

Hi Judith
    Thanks for that.  I may have to check electoral rolls to see if she is mentioned as liiving with this hubby Mr. Maher. 

I did see a Lila Grace Maher on the rolls 1954-77?? I think.  Kind regards Dianna

OH My goodness!!!  Thanks so much for that.  This family has been a nightmare to sort out!! So thank you for this clarification.   Now curious about this Jack Haynes.

Where did that information come from Debra?? Was it the divorce record/s.  Thank you.   Regards Dianna
