Historical context

What we still don't know
- Dates come from the family's Find a Grave memorials rather than the Queensland register.
- Her baptismal name, which the religious name replaces on every record found.
- [SCREENED, NOT A DUPLICATE] The duplicate-detector pairs her with **Mary Beatrice Hickey** because they share both parents and a first and last name. They are two different daughters of John Hickey and Sarah Jane Slack: born about about 1905 and about about 1892, dying in different years. Recorded here so the pairing is not re-examined every time the check runs.
