Queenie Alberta MOYSE [4840]

  General Notes:

(I can find no South Australia Birth Registration for Queenie Alberta Moyse)

1919 SA Marriage record and marriage certificate both state Queenie was 27y, which means she was born abt 1892.
Queenie's marriage certificate also records her born at Nantawarra S.A, and her occupation Dental Nurse.

(Whether Queenie's birth was 1888 or 1892, it is possible that she was born at Nantawarra as her marriage certificate states; her mother, Isabella Moyse (nee Ryder), was visiting her sister, Eliza Smillie Hocking (nee Ryder), who lived at Nantawarra during those years.)
