Historical context
These background articles explain the places, work, and events in this entry.
What we still don't know
- Whether Jetru is the correct middle name
- Whether the reported birth date and parents are correct
- Whether she later appeared as Ellen, Helen, Nellie, or Gertrude
- Her later life and death
- Inspect the original tree source or handwritten record for “Jetru”; search Ellen, Helen, Nellie, and Gertrude variants in Queensland births and marriages.
- Dates come from the family's Find a Grave memorials rather than the Queensland register.
- Her husband's given name; the memorial gives only Anderson.
- [MERGED 7 August 2026] This person had been entered twice — as `ellen-jetru-hickey-1890` and as `ellen-jetru-gertrude-hickey-anderson-1890` — when the Queensland families were built out from Find a Grave without first checking the names already in the archive. The two records are one person and are now joined; the old address redirects.
