Personal Notes:

Northern Miner 18 Mar 1911 DEATH. BROWNE.—At Selwyn, on February 19th, from enteric fever, Beatrice Blanche, the beloved wife of Edwin Otto Browne, and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. Atkinson (Homestead) in her 22nd year, leaving a husband and two young children to mourn their loss. Deeply regretted.

- Notes: The other problem with her "evidence" is that she, unlike your mother was an orphan, losing both her parents. Her mother Beatrice (Atkinson) died when she was very young in a typhoid epidemic. Her father remarried but within a short time was killed in a mine accident. The step mother now without a bread winner was left with two young children who were not her own and apparently did not cope too well. This lead to a famous family story where (Great) Grandma Atkinson made an epic journey (including a stagecoach section) to snatch the children. However she herself was doing it pretty tough and couldn't cope with two extra mouths to feed so my mother was kept and raised with her uncles and aunts (she regarded them as brothers and sisters.) Her brother Les was adopted by a wealthy family and he did pretty well for himself. He got a university education (apparently brilliant and a superb athlete) and became a school teacher. He was principal of the high school at Sarina for many years.
