Message: [QUOTE="Dave Gittins, post: 245642, member: 139025"] Malcolm, as one of the main researchers of Evelyn Marsden, I thank you for this interesting letter. I'll pass it on to another Australian researcher. It may help us find out when and where the couple reached Australia. From local records it seems they went to Sydney before moving to South Australia in late 1913. If they went on a White Star ship we might be better able to find the record. I've long suspected that one or both worked their passage. It's interesting that a ship's doctor couldn't afford a fare to Australia. The reference to the Adelaide General Hospital is possibly wrong. Today the main hospital is the Royal Adelaide Hospital but it might not have been Royal in those days. According to another source she trained in Melbourne. [/QUOTE]
