That's a good find Debra.

Also:
"POWELL - The relatives and friends of Mr J LOWE, and Mr and Mrs ARTHUR STEWART, Mrs F MASON and DOREEN are invitied to attend the funeral of his dearly beloved DAUGHTER, their SISTER, and SISTER-IN-LAW, Charlotte (Carrie) Powell, to leave the residence of her sister, 10 Booth Street, Balmain ..."

We must not forget that Alice Vaughan was born  1877.
A 1924 baby would have been  surprise

Also this item about a nasty assault upon her, (1895) she confirms it when she states her age as "about 19"

Thank you so much Debra, I think you have 'Cracked The Case'  Living at 10 Booth Street Balmain was Alice's' sister Charlotte Vaughan and her husband Edward Powell, Charlotte 'Carrie' Died from stomach cancer in 1937 which is probably why  Alice and Arthur moved out.  All that needs to happen now  is to prove which member of the family Doreen belongs to as Carrie and Arthur were childless.

I sincerely want to thank you and all the members of Rootschat for their support and information given to me these last few weeks.
Kind regards
Sonya

Thank you Sue, I didn't know about the assault on Alice, I am finding so much more information than I thought possible, could you please  tell me where you found that information so I can add it to my family tree.
Regards
