Thanks Geoff.

Death 4 Feb 1924/C0497 William Miller Morrison - William Morrison - Jane Burke

Father must also be William Miller but I can't find a death before 1922 for William Miller senior.

Jane nee Burke must be Jane H. G.

... mother of William (Chillagoue Q. ...

That has to be the William who died in 1924. Middle name is Miller from birth of Mary Jane.

Can't find a death for Robert or Thomas.

Can't find the marriage for Jean Morrison to Arney.

Thanks Geoff.

Been up since 4 am. Got a call my father was returned to hospital emergency.

Must be a death without the middle name for William senior.

Wonder if William junior was the only one born in Scotland.

It points to a death between 1918 and 1922 but the deaths in Qld. all have names that don't fit.

Jane died 1922 in WA.

Address = Warburton Street and on her own. In 1913 and 1917 Dist = Herbert and Subd = Townsville. So boundaries changed.

Mrs. Jane M Morrison
Gender: Female
Residence Year: 1921

[Warburton Street or Kennedy Street, looks as though Kennedy Street cuts through, so likely to be Warburton Street]

'Mrs' is interesting if correct. Though looks to be Jane Miller/ar
