Hello listers My Mary Ellen SPENCE (nee BOAL/BOLE/BOYLE) died in South Melbourne on 12 August 1885 and was buried two days later in the Williamstown Cemetery. I'm wondering if her (CD) death record shows the names of either of her parents. Can anyone please help? Thanks, Shelley

No parents mentioned.. Note it has Mary Helen not Ellen. Did she marry in Victoria?... Nothing obvious unless they got Mary HEADON marrying James SPENCE out of Mary Helen / Ellen.. It is possible I guess. Here's the death record on the cd.. Digger - Pioneer Index.
