Dear Shirlee, As an afterthought I checked Waverley Cemetery Headstone Transcriptions by the Society of Australian Genealogists and there are only a handful of BRADSHAW entries, no Susan. Not many females in the early days had assets to leave, and Susan BRADSHAW does not appear on the NSW Probate Index to 1900.

Hi Bill She would have been buried as Sarah BRADSHAW not Susan, it was probably bad writing. No, I didn't think she had any assets to leave.

Dear Shirlee, There are no names starting with S at all in Waverley Cemetery transcrptions under BRADSHAW. Of the 11 headstones listed eight of them are in the one section, indicating they could well be from the one family.
