Hi Michael, it seems that Stella Thorssell who married Alexander Fenwick was actually born in 1898 at Marrickville and was the sister of Arthur Lawrence Thorssell, rather than his daughter (NSW Birth reg. 32115/1898). She married in 1919. Let me know if this doesn't seem right, otherwise I'll add sources and connect her up in a couple of days. Thanks. Gillian
