I may have to contact the NSW State Archives re Alexina being in Newington Asylum. Could be interesting.

Newington Asylum was mostly for the elderly, though it also was available for the "ordinary pauper population", it began as an asylum (hospital) for infirm and destitiute women. After 1913 it was known as the Newington State Hospital and Asylum for Women.

Admission cards, patient medical reports etc only available at the Archives.

I'm wondering also now the proximity of HOPE LEE (nee White) Ernies mum and Ernie and his family in BELMORE.

On the Electoral Rolls from 1937 up until Ernies death in 1952 he was living at 25 FORSYTH St. Belmore.

1944 from Hope Lees notice in the paper she is in Westwood Avenue Belmore.

Is this just a coincidence??
