Gday,
Laurel May Sidebothan and she was born in Grenfell. Parents William Thomas Sidebothan & Emma Gee. She married Reginald Cahill in 1940. They divorced in the 1959. I have no other confirmed details of her life after that other than 1963 Electoral Roll, Abbotsford Victoria. Please assist me if you can ?

I'm assuming you have information about her prior to the divorce? There is a tree on ancestry suggesting that Laurel and Reginald had a son born 1942 and died in Sydney 1990. However I can find no provable sightings and there are no references on the tree, so can't say if this is correct. The death notice for this man says that he had a brother "Bert" but there's no mention of this Bert on the tree. I doubt if this man is related.
The fact that the MI as shown by cupoflife mentions only Laurel's friends may suggest that possibly there were no children or that Laurel and any children were estranged.
Not much help, really! Judith

1963 Electoral rolls show the following, all at 28 Windsor Rd, Dulwich Hill
Reginald Spencer CAHILL, shot blaster
William James CAHILL, railway employee
and another man and woman who may still be living, but the name of the man could easily be the "Bert" referred to in the notices posted by cupoflife.
I cannot see William James CAHILL on the rolls earlier than 1963 (might have missed him) which would support the theory that he was born in 1941/2 and thus was 21 in 1963 and could enrol to vote. Only speculation though!
