Hi Betty, Have a look at this from TAHO - http://stors.tas.gov.au/SWD37-1-2 Scroll down to page 103-104 and the next page 105-106 (St Joseph's Orphanage) Annie Lyons is towards the bottom of page 104 and there is a minor reference to May Lyons on page 106. The case number you mention for Annie 1489 attaches to her but 2901 seems related to the girl below her on the page Ellen Louisa Lynskey. The entry does at least give a birth date a place for Annie Lyons though no parent info...
