[DaveHam9]

Thanks Geoff.

No mention.

Kate is a bit of a mystery.

... Miss Kate Sedelsten, of Benalla ...

That's all I can find. A marriage and one daughter with two birth reg. No other children and no death for Kate.

Kate is a bit of a mystery.

Yeah, just looking at possible scenarios..

[DaveHam9]

Deaths in Vic . index 1886 - 1889 for several Cath are infants.

No Sedelsten deaths in Vic. Index 1840 - 1940.

Can't find an earlier marriage for Catherine to get from Soderstrom to Sedelsten.

[DaveHam9]

I probably should move on.

 

[horse]

Yeah, nothing new coming up?

Geoff

 

[DaveHam9]

I might have some 1913 look ups soon.

Back to this one. This is the puzzle.

Catherine SODERSTROM 1866–1918
, Death certificate , Victorian Government, BD&M Registry, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
FITZGERALD, Kate; SEDELSTEN, Kate; 13882; 1918

Is the name change the result of a marriage (not yet found) or just a change of name ?

So, looking for the 1866 birth.
