Looking for syblings (if any) of Catherine Mary Edwards b 1906 of Brighton, parents William Edwards and Nellie Fletcher.
Catherine passed away in 1944 in Australia, married David Mitchell in 1929 in Australia, believed to have arrived in 1927-1928.
Found a Catherine Edwards BDM sepq 1906 Brighton but nothing else.
At this point have no further informatiom
Regards

Have you looked for the family on 1911 census?

Looks like a problem trio.
No Catherine on the 1911 census, and too many William Edwards on all censuses, so would need further details.
Only one Nelly on the 1901 census (a 24 year old spinner) but in Hove not Brighton.
Again lots of other William Edwards that could be her spouse, but if you go by associated proffession, the most suited would be a 44 year old cotton merchant from Lancashire also living in Hove. Cant find their marriage on FreeBMD though. (not uncommon with Steyning district on FreeBMD) The GRO has the full index which I cannot access on the Internet.
Suggest you get a copy of the 1906 birth cert, note the father's occupation and then try to find him and Nelly on the 1901 census. Follow that up with getting a print out showing the family as it was then and use those family details to locate them all in 1911.
