Hi All, Just been playing with the above information and maybe this Doris is the daughter of Doris as it makes her 113yrs old at death. Any thoughts on this?

Kerryn

Kerryn, if you go down further your thread, it was later corrected that it was not your Doris' death. There has been no further deaths for Doris in Victoria up to 1985.

As Doris' husband died in South Australia, there is a possibility that Doris remarried and died there also.

Joy

Thanks for that - is that all I need to ask for?
