Sybil Edith Crase

[maddys52]

If she was studying at the "Adelaide Conservatorium" , presumably the Elder Conservatorium of Music

 I wonder if they have any archives that may assist - enrollment details etc?

Thanks, I've considered that, Madys52, as I felt someone must have paid for this education.
I can't see any Adelaide Con records online, but have a website so will inquire via that.
I appreciate your suggestion,

Wivenhoe, I hadn't mentioned Sybil's marriage witnesses as I don't feel the names are relevant to my Birth info query. I have  E (Eleanor) Crase's details, and those of the other witness, a friend of the groom.
One of Sybil's sons is still living so we do not discuss them on this forum. please. Apart from that, her son's birth certs will not help me to find Sybil's birthplace.
Thanks,
Valsgirl

I was wondering about the addresses of the 12 year old Sybil Crase when she’s writing letters to the news paper:

Jan 1914:  “Hamilton” 119 Cambridge St, West Leederville
(https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/80098787?searchTerm=Crase )
1914/1915 Directories list: “Scott Mrs. S. 119 Cambridge st. Ldrvlle”

May 1914 “Ziska” 177 Hay St, Subiaco”
(https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/79917639?searchTerm=crase )
1914 Directory lists: “Linton Mrs. Melina, 177 Hay st. Subiaco”
1915 Directory lists: “Douglas Mrs, M. 177 Hay st. Sub”

Could they be boarding houses or is she being fostered?

I had a look at that family earlier, there was a divorce and quite a bit written in the papers about it. They had one child die as a baby, and only the one living male child according to the reports.

And supposedly a divorce for Edith Annie, January 1901, which I do not see in newspaper.
