  Death Notice: The West Austraian Thursday July 17, 1958 FREE Eunice: At Mandurah, on July 14, loving mother of Elsie, gran of Arthur, Stanley, Norman, Malcolm, Sherley and Beryl. Death Notice: The West Austraian Saturday July 19, 1958 FREE (Eunice): Dearly loved mother of Mick and Vie. mother-in-law of Rex and Betty, loved grandmother of 11 grandchildren. Rest in peace. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Darryl - I am glad the info was a help to you - perhaps she didnt quite come out alone - other girl friends - cousins whose name you dont know and also single at the age of 30 wasnt a great life for a British girl - and Australia was always keen for single women to come out here for the marriage market. Perhaps she had friends out here already So there could have been lots of reasons and also by Nov 1913 Britain was on the brink of WW1 and a very worrying time leading up to the outbreak of the war Bye for now Shyama - shyama-at-gold.net.au ORAMA [picture] Green, Allan C. 1878-1954 photographer.
