deaths -Kate (Catherine) Doyle

[c.daniel]

Looking for a death for Kate (Catherine) Doyle from Perth WA. I found a memorial for her from her son John Doyle in the Trove Newspaper. He has her death as 19th Feb 1916. She would have been in her mid Thirties. She was married to Thomas Doyle, once Mayor of Kanowna WA. I was going to send for her death certificate but I can't find her anywhere. Can someone please point me in the direction.

A bit more info, which might be of interest.

Wooroloo Sanitorium
Posted on 2 January, 2008 by Annette
A sanitorium was built to manage people suffering from tuberculosis in Western Australia in the early 1900’s. Treatment of TB was focused on fresh air and sunshine. The site at Wooroloo was chosen because of the beauty of the countryside and elevation of the site. Patients with leprosy were also isolated at Wooroloo.

Regarding the death of Kate Doyle at Wooroloo Sanatorium in 1916. I got in touch with WA SRO hospital records and was told there was not a Kate Doyle in the Admissions or departures. Not very happy.
