I have found info on Trove regarding Sarah Dawson.
Transcribed from Truth newspaper Sunday 18 June 1922, page 5.
Sarah Dawson of 240 Elizabeth St, I assume, Surry Hills, fined £10 pounds or 3 months jail after pleading guilty of being the keeper of an unlawful house, (brothel), before Mr Edwards, represented by Mr J W Abigail.
My query, is there anyway I may be able to find out more about Sarah Dawson. Age, additional court records etc.
Thanks

In the following cutting (likely the one you mention in your opening post), the entrance to 240 Elizabeth St was in Reservoir Street, and so I can confirm it would be Surry Hills, as in the suburb on the eastern side of Central Station, Sydney CBD.

Thank you everyone. My Sarah arrived Qld November 1910 supposedly 25. Unfortunately dates & ages don’t match.

Its really helpful to give as much information as you can about the person you are querying e.g. arrival in Qld in 1910 aged 25 so that Rootschatters can focus on the correct person. Saves us a lot of unnecessary researching, which of course we are happy to do.
