These news items relate to the death of a woman named Kathleen JOHNSTON.
She died in North Sydney and was 32 years of age. It is hinted that the death was "unusual" but an inquest was not held as it appeared to be from natural causes.
It is not clear whether or not she was married.

I cannot see the death on the registration indexes.
Perhaps others will have luck, and I'll keep looking.

Gosh, thanks JM When I'm in Sydney next week I'll try and make it to the library and see what I can see. Betty

I had a little bit of good fortune. i contacted one of the Tree Custodians of Walter Stevenson regarding having a look at photos, and she has already responded. I did let her know about the vagueness of the information that we are searching with. She may be able to offer up more info on the Josiah link. Betty

Muss, those straws are as useful as the many others I have had a hold of!  I don't know where you found them, but if there is some way I can be set onto that trail, I'm happy to give it a go. Do we look for a Seale as a photographer in Australia? Can we find out if/when they came to Australia? One thought within the family is, Robert, like so many other soldiers, may have "stolen" the name.
I only have a small window tomorrow to go on the computer as we go to Sydney on Saturday, so any checks of the internet will be on my phone. So apologies in advance if I don't appear to be checking. Thanks so much. Betty

Muss, you have found the strongest link yet. Hugz - A daughter has been searching for a couple of years, but because of work etc, I've only been able to put in a full-time effort the past couple of months as I'm now retired. Thank you. Like a dog on a scent, I'm going to run with this one!!! Betty

As I'm not a member of "familytreebuilder", I searched via Ancestry, and contacted a Tree member. So will wait and see what comes of it. So much of the information is absolutely the closest yet. And his Walter was a photographer!. Muss, you excel
