Certainly looks like she was not registered?

Mokoan seems to have been a farming area that is now a lake? There is a map in a video here showing names of farm owners in the area.

It is curious that other sister Olive was registered twice, once as Murtha and once as Pettes. Was this around when Parick Murtha abandoned his family? Who was Patrick working for? Did they own any land here?

Must have been a terrible time

What about trying this Benalla Group, they are close by and the name Harrison appears in the members interests

Was he the John Harrison paying rates here?
