Hi Does anyone have Lena Seeman (nee McFadyen) in their family tree. She is not a relative of mine but I am trying to find information on a Kathleen Lillian Gordon for a book I am writing on my family history. Kathleen was born in Charleville in 1925 and worked as a live-in housekeeper for Lena at Lena’s residence at 12 Peary Street in Northgate from about 1948 until Lena’s death in 1965. I have found Kathleen on the electoral roll at 20 Peary Street, Northgate, from 1954 until 1984. I cannot understand her living at 20 Peary Street as descendants of Lena say she lived at Lena’s residence at 12 Peary Street for many years. One of Lena’s sons, Colin Vivian Seeman, also lived with Lena and Kathleen at 12 Peary Street and, after Lena died in 1965, Colin and Kathleen continued to live there. I don’t know if Colin and Kathleen were in a relationship. Colin died in 1978. Kathleen died in 1997 and was cremated at Albany Creek, Brisbane. As she never married and had no descendants, it is difficult to get information on her. Other members of the Seeman family suggest that Lena may have willed her home to Colin when she died and I am wondering if Colin left it to Kathleen when he died. I presume I would have to go to the State Archives to search for wills of these three people. I have just emailed the State Library and asked them to check for funeral notices in The Courier Mail for the three. Thank you Ian Kelly Sandstone Point Qld.
