    1. [AUS-QLD] Re Lenna NEILL
    2. Mary Mizzi
    3. Thanks for all the information from listers regarding Lenna NEILL b.1865 NSW Still have not found her death or where she is buried.I am awaiting a reply from the Catholic Diocese in Cairns if they have any info about her. Lena went under different names in some of the transcripts I have found. Elizabeth Elenor, Helena, Helen and known to all as Lena. There is another Eleanor in the family of Leslie John Morton Neill, Lena's brother. Named as Eileen Eleanor b.1902 Queensland. The area on the Anna River near Cooktown known as Helen Vale is named after her...also Helen Street Cooktown where she lived. Shown with her mother Johanna (Guilfoyle) Neill, who died in 1918 at the age of 85 years and is buried in Cooktown. Looks like Lena is still alive in the 1949 Electoral Roll living in Helen Street Cooktown. My cousin thought she died some years after the war finished. Is there another Electoral Roll for Cooktown 1950 and later please? Would some kind person check if she is on it please as her death and where she is buried is very important to the family Looking at family history transcripts written by members of the Neill family, it seems Lena did not marry but no mention of her death. Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks, Kind regards, Mary
