Unfortunately the NSW BDM site https://familyhistory.bdm.nsw.gov.au/lifelink/familyhistory/search is temporarily unavailable (and very painful lately as they are supposedly upgrading it - we all prefer the old version)

Well perhaps you already know about the Australian descendants ...? (if we are on the right track ) And really want to know about the ancestors?
But I couldn't resist posting this. It looks like Grace FARRELL lived to the age of 105 ! :D and died in 2000
FARRELL Grace Death 1 Dec 2000 Age 105 late of Berala, formerly of Griffith, NSW Daily Telegraph (Sydney) 5 Dec 2000

You can ask the volunteers at ryerson for a copy of the death notice (if this is relevant).

Hi
I have in my wife's family tree a James Allan Farrell born 1871 marrying Mary Paton Stobie born 5 July 1877 Pittencrieff Street. on 11 June 1897 in Victoria Street, Dunfermline.
Mary died 5 October 1905 Age 32 years and they had one child David Farrell born 1901 which I picked up on Ancestry - Miles family tree.
Mary's parents David Stobie and Elizabeth Watters - David's parents were John Stobie and Mary Paton
Although not a direct line of my wife's family David Stobie was a brother to a John Stobie who married an Elizabeth Sinclair who were my wife's Gt Grandparents.
David and John were one of 8 children another brother George married a Jane Watters born 1843 died 8 Aug 1889 who was Elizabeth's sister. George and Jane also had a Mary Paton Stobie born 16 September 1874 who married George Spowart Aitken on the 7 Jan 1898.
Hope this is of interest.
I am also researching apart from Stobie, Moyes, Carnegie
Cheers
