She died in 1935 and we believe it was in Western Australia.  I believe she never married, but again I can't say for sure at this point. I am truly starting at the beginning.

Poster cant be sure she never married JM.

So we married her off and gave her some kids as well  ;D  ;D

Reply#11.

The 1935 death for a Lilian ROSS in WA was a married woman with maiden name SAUL.

I wonder if the info was taken from the online subscription website death index.

The OP didn't seem to interested in the Lillian we found, she already had dispensed with her as the wife daughter of Albert Ross. So until the OP has increased her interest in her own post, aren't we just wasting time ::)

My Point.
Quote from OP...."That is truly all the details that I have" Then "I had Alfred Quarme and his family but had realized until just a moment ago that he had remarried in 1884"

I am left mystified as to what and where and why all this seemingly new information has burst into the light from the OP ??? ::)

When all avenues are exhausted have a look at some online trees and  the OP has one titled Brisbane family.  The AFFLECK family are included included Elizabeth Ann [Lily] ROSS.

And also

Lillian ROSS born 1874 in Australia  Father Alfred ROSS
Residence 1896 -1898 Age 22 years  Brisbane Qld Australia
Death 1935 Age 61 years Sydney, NSW, Australia

I don't think we can proceed until we have the information relating to Lily in 1896 and 1898 evidence she went to Sydney.

I won't type up all the info until we are sure we are tracing the right family.  I note that the news report of Frederick D J AFFLECK's funeral, his wife was using the name Mrs HANDFORD.
The NSW Police Gazette has a description of a Sydney James AFFLECK alias Frederick James AFFLECK who is also known as Frederick James HANFORD.  This was in 1929 before the death of his father.

Does the name HANDFORD/HANFORD have any relevence :-\ :-\  Frederick was charged and sentenced for having an unlicensed gun and numerous breaking and enters.

And this one states she had a daughter in Inverell.

Thank you for more details.  I found the later marriage to Lilly Green and I was about to give up on Elizabeth being my Lilly but her early marriage to Lionel then makes more sense.  Interesting little journey making sense of this family.

You wanted a transcription of the church record.  Lilly was actually baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or Mormon Church in 1896.  She seems to have been working for the Samuel Rowley family doing laundry, but she could have been living there as well.  They would have been her introduction to the church.  The record is from the East Brisbane Branch and this is all the information that it has:
Last Name: Ross
First Name: Lillian
Born: 1874
Died: 1935
Father: Alfred Ross
Mother:
Bapt: 1896
By: Daniel H. Livingston
Moved: Sydney
Remarks: whereabouts unknown

Just had a chance to read all of the exchanges that have happened since I was last able to enter the site.  I would suggest that you call it a day and end the research.  I appreciate all that you have done and the flurry of information.  It was an interesting journey but truly I am not sure if this is my Lilly or not.  If nothing else I know it wasn't her in Western Australia.  Was this Lilly married to Lionel but mistress to Frederick?  May never know exactly what they were up to.  There is one other record I have to order that may give more information.  Otherwise I may have to let the dust settle on this one.

Thanks gang.
