Notes

  • Death date found: ACA burial records confirm Clara Blanche Lane was buried at Cheltenham Cemetery on 7 June 1974. This resolves the previously unknown death date — she lived to approximately age 90.

  • Burial at Cheltenham Cemetery: Confirms the prediction in the approved Deep Research report that she likely died in the Port Adelaide metropolitan area. Cheltenham Cemetery served the Port Adelaide district.

  • Last known residence: A South Australian General Registry Office document (Application No. 27459, 1926) lists "Francis Edward labourer formerly of Pt Adelaide but now of Liddon Place, Portland Estate and Clara Blanche Lane his wife." This proves Clara survived WWI and migrated from the rural Tantanoola area to the industrial Port Adelaide district.

  • Name note: Clara's married surname was Lane. Her death record may be indexed under "Clara Blanche Lane" or "Clara Lane."
