Many, many, many thanks for all you contributions to this thread. It's going to take me some time to check through all of your results for Norah. First thing I must do is see if I have the marriage cert. for Archibald and Norah
Many thanks again

Managed to find the marriage certificate. Archibald's father is listed as John William ( an auctioneer ) and mother as Cathy McIntyre. and Norah's parents as Henry Dowling and Margaret Harrison. They were married on 12th June 1916,
It would appear that they had split up or divorced according to previous contributions to this thread.

Nora EWING (home duties) is first mentioned on NSW electoral rolls in 1958 (also 1963) at Mona Vale Rd, Terrey Hills.  No-one else of that surname at that address.

Curiouser and curiouser-
The NAA has these two WW2 records, unfortunately not digitised.

William Henry DOWLING : Service Number - S1684 :
Date of birth - 21 Feb 1922 : Place of birth - ADELAIDE SA :
Place of enlistment - TORRENS HALL SA :
Next of Kin - Nora DOWLING

Michael DOWLING : Service Number - NX147032 :
Date of birth - 18 Sep 1902 : Place of birth - MANLY NSW :
Place of enlistment - COWRA NSW :
Next of Kin - Nora DOWLING

Michael, I assume, is Nora's brother but one wonders about William Henry who is of an age to be a son of Nora.  And his second forename is the same as her father's - which may mean nothing, it's a common name.  Of course, the Nora who is listed as his NoK may be another person altogether.

This is the SA birth registration for the above. He is not a son of Nora Dowling:

DOWLING William Henry b. 21/02/1922
Father: William Henry DOWLING
Mother: Annie Elizabeth CONSIDINE
Place: Adelaide; District: Ade; Book: 90A; Page: 574

Perhaps this is her :

Colin Russell EWING, died 2 Jan 1957,  His address Terry Hills.  His occupation Farmer and from one of Ancestry's partnership arrangements, I can see that this deceased Estate was administered by N EWING.   
NSW SRO Archives Investigator has Probate 14 Nov 1957.

Ryerson has SMH 4 Jan 1957.

Fingers crossed some of you can get to that SMH and upload a link  :)

Cheers,  JM  (I have to get back to my work desk  :'(  :'(  :'(

here is link to newspaper but I don't think it has death notices (they sometimes put last page at start of next issue)
http://www.rootschat.com/links/0x8h/


from another resource.

EWING Colin Russell January 1 1957 at his residence Terrey Hills.  Privately cremated Northern Suburbs January 3 1957.

Not very informative  :(
