Go to page 10 in the box top right.  The zoom buttons are not displaying properly for me but I might be the only one.  If you can't see them either just go to the left of the page box and hover with your mouse and they will pop up.

Trove has very few newspapers after 1954.

Thank you Debra. I was able to read the notice, but no specific "relatives and friends of the late GEORGINA MURRAY DRYDEN" were mentioned. Yes. The image I attached is very small. It's the best I can do.
DIGNIFIED FUNERALS of FIVE DOCK, LAKEMBA appear to have posted the notice.

NSW Probate online records Index has a record for Alexandra Peters Died 30.4.2014 Panania NSW

Just found entry on Australian Cemeteries index for Alexandra which indicates that she was cremated at Woronora and "ashes taken"

Thank you Cass. I am able to view that.
Strangely, a person mentioned in the report has the same forenames as Alexandra's son from a 1965 birth record on FreeBMD index (Brett R Peters), but his last name is different. Surely it's the same man.
I don't know if I can give his name as he is probably still alive.

Alexandra's mother, Georgina, also had her ashes scattered at Woronora.

Not helping with Georgina, but for future interest the zoom button on Ryerson is tiny ;D

Thank you Sparrett. I did find it eventually and zoomed in. Perhaps I could have enlarged even further.

I had a look at the Australian Archives site and it seems that the Peters family and Gina arrived in Australia on 29.1.1966 on the Fairsea. listed as A, BR and HJ Peters.
If you play around with the Passenger listings you will find the full given names, as the son could still be living I will not list them, except to say that the given names so not match those in the probate records.


https://recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetrieve/Interface/ListingReports/PassengerListing.aspx   

PETERS   A      29 Jan 1966   Adelaide   FAIRSEA   Overseas      7091562
PETERS   B R      29 Jan 1966   Adelaide   FAIRSEA   Overseas      7091562
PETERS   H J      29 Jan 1966   Adelaide   FAIRSEA   Overseas      7091562
DRYDEN   G      29 Jan 1966   Adelaide   FAIRSEA   Oversea

appears that they intended to live in South Australia.

I have been thinking about the fellow in the probate records. He could be a relation to Alexandra,  a descendant of her son, a grandson or even great grandson of Alexandra, and the given name has passed down the generations. How to prove that is another question,
