Death for Doris  MACKAY (according to ryerson index http://ryersonindex.net/search.php ) in 2012 is not correct one.

Here is this death notice http://www.rootschat.com/links/01g9g/

thank you everyone for all this very helpful information,   hopefully I can get a picture of where she fitted into our family.

I have discovered Marjorie was my Godmother,  I am now 70,  did she have any children,  who was her family at her death -  I thing she was my mothers bridesmaid

Hi there,

I would expect that your Godmother was one of the witnesses at your mother's marriage, and as bridesmaid she may have signed the certificate.   

Do you have a copy of the marriage registration? 

Here is a newspaper cutting regarding Marjorie's parents.  It refers to Marjorie by all her given names and as Mrs Winnie, and gives her parents address, and her Dad's occupation.  My late Gran often said to me "Don't believe anything you read in that RAG, especially if you also heard it over the back fence", however, there's names and addresses and dates and other family history details in the article that may help to give clues to confirm or eliminate this particular Marjorie from your enquiries.  http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/168972563 Sunday 15 November 1942 Truth. 

The Divorce papers for Marjorie's parents are held at NSW State Records Office.   

Cheers,  JM

Thanks so much JM,
there is too much in that article that I recognise for it not to be the family I am looking for,   I now know the connection,    the name Veitch was what I was looking for.
Thanks again

I am ordering my parents marriage cert tonight -  Mum passed last year and all her papers are still in different family hands and until we can put them together I might as well get a transcript.
