Thanks Ian, this lady(my gggrandma) is being a regular pain in the tush...would you be able to look in the burials to see if she is listed as Maude Douglas. I would really appreciate it. The problem is she never married my ggrandma's father and ggrandma's birth was never registered. I have ggrandma's death certificate saying her mother was Maud Morgan and her marriage cert. saying her mother was Maud Douglas. And i can't find anything anywhere on her. No other children's birth registered under these names or deaths. I thought when i found the MI that i was finally onto something....which i could be seeing as this mystery woman wasn't buried as a Lake. Problem is that my ggrandma died aged 25 in 1925 and as far as i know was the only child to this couple...so who would have put the name Lake on a headstone for this lady? Was there another child? Sorry for dribbling on,,,i'm sure there is just one more piece of the puzzle to make this fall into place, if only i can find it.

There is also, as you say, a headstone with Maud Lake on it, died 4/3/1954 aged 93 years. >From a Charters Towers perspective that's about as far as you'll get. I'd head for microfilms of the Northern Miner for that period. You will find those at James Cook Uni in Townsville, not sure about Brisbane. I doubt if they're available in Charters Towers though. The CT and Dalrymple FHA certainly does not have films of that period. Sorry I can't be of more help.
