but can find no trace of her birth.

Family information

Any help would be much appreciated Thanks

Thanks for trying
I'm just hitting a wall. It's strange because I know that the death record that I've found is correct , you would think that a birth record would be quite easy to find

Could she have been born 'at sea'?

Hi Sylvia
yes that's the one I had found and it is certainly one of my relations. just a bit strange that I cant find a birth. I even tried today checking if she had been born on the journey to Australia but not a lot of luck
Thank you for looking
