Thanks Val.

No idea why Warren married in Victoria as he was from Goulburn. He enlisted in NSW - embarked Sydney and was discharged in 2nd MD which is NSW.

May and Elsa May in the Electoral rolls. Not sure I have the right one.

The 1960 death is ruled out - nee GREENWOOD

I can't see a notice for the 1920 marriage.

It's no proof but being Methodist fits with the Furner family.

Probate notice for Elsie May in SMH 6 Feb 1987.

I can't find her on the Probate list in NSW Archives to get her date of death.

I just checked the five Saturday editions of SMH for January 1987 and no death notice for Elsie May.
