Helen Frank and Lily had a son, Leslie F Littlejohns born 1923

LITTLEJOHN Leslie Frank
Death notice
Died 09 OCT 2001
Age 78 late of Hillside Nursing Home, formerly of Swansea
Published in Newcastle Herald on 10 OCT 2001

[age 78 = born c 1923]

You could contact the NSW Ask a Librarian service, They could give you the details of the notice.

There may be relatives names to follow up, or details where the funeral/cremation was held. The venue may be willing to tell you who arranged it, but not their contact details.

I suspect they also had daughter Violet

Name: Violet I Littlejohns
Mother's Maiden Surname: >> Prowse
Date of Registration: 1924 - Oct-Nov-Dec
Registration district: Taunton

her marriage in NSW

320/1945
ELLIOTT ARTHUR HENRY
LITTLEJOHNS VIOLET IRENE
SYDNEY

I don't see a death at Ryerson Index but she would be over 90 now

possibly

ELLIOTT Arthur Henry Whitten
Funeral notice 15JUN2014
Death 92 late of Wynnum
Courier Mail (Brisbane) 17JUN2014

* no, he appears in Wynnum on the electoral roll in 1954 likely with his own wife so that death is ruled out


I see Violet and Arthur on electoral rolls together in Reid district NSW up to 1958

in 1958 Violet and Arthur are on Goondah Street, Villawood

in 1963 Arthur is alone at that address


... Violet remarried

19203/1962
RAMAGE GORDON ARCHIBALD
ELLIOTT VIOLET IRENE
MARRICKVILLE

husband's death

RAMAGE Gordon Archibald
Death notice 03OCT1995 Death
late of Narrabeen, formerly of Tinga
Sydney Morning Herald 05OCT1995

he is on the electoral roll 1968-1980 but Violet is never with him or listed elsewhere


there is one listing for that surname in the place where Gordon died, at present ...
