Sadly, there is no name given for grandpa and grandma and nobody else living in the family who can tell me. At the time they wrote, it was a few weeks before Christmas 1954 and they were with my grandparents, Dymphna Jane and William Alexander Smith. The last address I had for Dymphna Jane was Quamby Avenue, South Yarra, in 1946 and she died in 1971 at Ballarat. I still can't find when William Alexander died, though I think it was after I was born (1953). John Foote died in Prahran which is where my grandfather lived at one time at 36 Donald Street. My suspicion is that Mary married again but I am struggling to find any record of this, or her death, which, if she marrie! d again, would have been in her new married name I presume. I would like to find when she died and where she is buried really. Thanks for your interest, Jane Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
