On the burial of Sylvia Marie it shows she was born in 1902.
So this is probably her birth in Victoria:

FERGUSON Marie Sylvia b. 1902 HOTH W #26999
Father: Fran Thos
Mother: Angelina BARDI

I have edited my previous post to reflect the above.

Thanks to all for putting this work in; it's enabled me to clarify and verify some details, not least that the reported birth of a dau to Mrs Wm John Kernohan in 1976 was not Ellen May but her younger sister Florence Kate (1876 - 1934). Yes she had other siblings, Walter H (died young) and William John (jnr), who died in October 1967.

So we still don't have a surname for Sylvia Marie- and, believe me, I've spent hours going through Trove with all the combinations I can think of, l but the OCR is somewhat capricious and occasionally throws up some howlers (e.g. "the oily daughter of..." and "sadly missed by his roving wife"). There's a stand-up routine in there somewhere!

This also leaves whether William Leonard and Sylvia Marie had either previously married, and whether they had children other than step-children. Clearly their grave was updated on her death in 1986 by someone, and that would be interesting to know.

As for Liverpool, my interests are mostly confined to my own tree, which includes Cornish (originally from Frome, Somerset), Piggott, Gaffney, Heap, Sandilands and Parkes, plus Waddington of Cotham, Lincolnshire and Nash of Wandsworth/Clapham.

Cheers!

As privacy laws are very strict in AUS your best & probably only option would be to purchase William's death certificate from the information I gave you in my reply #1. Victorian death certificates are a wealth of information nothing like the UK ones that have very little. It costs $20 to pay online & download the certificate instantly to your computer, there is no waiting for it to arrive via email or post.

This is the information available on Victorian death certificates:

Thanks Merlin, that seems to be a good place to start.
