Hi All, thought I'd ask if anyone else has any ideas on this little story, this Flora lady is getting a little frustrating to say the least!! Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated!

So far I have; Flora McLean born in 1866 (reg: 9572) to Ann Anderson/Carberry and Allan McLean. Then I can't find a marriage for her, but her mother's obituary states she was a 'Mrs Lees'. The only marriage I can find is for a Ann J McLean and Frank G Lee in 1885 (reg: 7062) - that is the only marriage between a McLean and a Lee / Lees between 1880 and 1896 when Flora is supposed to have died, registered as Flora Lee. On the Kiama Cemetery Recrods it had a John Stewart Lee (d. aged 6 months on 24th July 1895). The headstone was erected by his loving grandmother A McLean, which would appear to be Flora's mother. Then when I looked up the death record on the BDM Online Index for John Stewart Lee, it listed his father as Alfred W and his mother as Flora. What am I missing here, or is there a story to be told?? Can anyone help me make sense of this?

Regards, Kylie :)
