Where is Alma Matthews and how does she fit into our Matthews family tree?

Thank you the useful information at reply #32 about the source of your information

Mandy and I searched for a long time online for evidence of Dorrie's birth as we suspected she may have been the child of one of James Ralph Matthews daughters or possibly the sons.

Sorry, there is just one more piece of information for Dorothy Ellen Matthews birth that was included with that.....
'At Mrs TREWEEKS, Mount Street, Burnie.

Interestingly, at that same address, I found a birth record for another child who died very young...(about 5 months)
MATTHEWS Basil Ken
Birth 19 Mar 1915
At Mrs Treweeks, Mount St. Burnie
Reg. Year 1915
Reg No.1960
James Ralph Matthews
Lillian Matthews nee.Tiffen

The information I've given was what I found from the Hobart Library resource online inside the library building. They provide access to the Pioneer and Federation Indexes and it's limited to searching on their own computers in the library itself.

There is access to the Names Index through the family history portal  through Tas Libraries online remotely. But nothing could be found on there, but it is a very handy resource.

(For reference if anyone is interested;)

Yes, both Reg b.1920 and Tyrell b.1922 were children of Ivy Lily Ivory (known as Lily) and Alick Ivory.
The Ivory family are Tasmanian based in the north of the state.
According to Alex (Alick) Ivory's Australian Imperial Forces Enlistment papers dated 24 Aug 1914,
his father is;
John Ivory of Wilmot, Tasmania

Sue,

 I searched for Mr Rome last night without success and even considered that it may have been
Mr Rowe? No joy with that one either.

What Mandy and I found interesting at one stage was with the Electoral Rolls of Tas
(I'm trying to find my notes on this one)
Was that Ivy Lily and Alick Ivory were living at different locations for a period of time in the marriage, which we thought was strange. They were both around Burnie, Tas but I can't recall the exact details......I will look for them

According to my calculations of Lillian nee TIFFEN's age in 1915, she was at least 45 years.

I would be thinking this is another grandchild of theirs registered in their names as parents.

Re Amy's birth .... is it possible to find George (* instead of surname) in Burnie around Easter  1917 ....  what records would be available during that year or the year prior .... there were two federal referendums on conscription ... so electoral rolls come to my mind ... but I don't have any Tasmanian rolls ...

Geo R ....  mm... and an aside ..
Oh that looks  regal ....

1916 Electoral Roll ...

Perhaps have a check for Rouse as alternative surname.

This might be on a completely wrong tangent, so please feel free to ignore
There is a George Rome Andrews of South Melbourne, age 29 years and 11 months - who signs up in 1917 for the Aust Imperial Force (WW1). Service papers at Aust National Archives

I see there is a public tree for George Rome ANDREWS  ....
