Reference Notes

Lizzie's father's name is registered as Graham Washford Page on her birth index record but William Page on her death record. Further investigation required to resolve this.

It appears that Lizzie's father, George W Page, died in 1907.^[6] Lizzie's mother, Mary Page then married William Heron in 1915.^[7] The informant for Lizzie's death in 1966 may not have known the complete situation, only that Lizzie's maiden name was Page and her mother's name was Mary and they incorrectly assumed Mary's last husband, ie William, was her father. They also assumed that her actual name was Elizabeth, not Lizzie, the name recorded at birth.
