I finally figured the E ... Dorothy Sophia Elizabeth apparently went as "Eliza" with family and friends. Her grave marker is not made out for "Dorothy S" but for "Eliza". Would have remained baffled, had not her two Williams (her husband, and her son) been buried in the same grave.

Hi Siegfried
What you see is all the information that appears on the original petition.
I have looked up a database of women on the 1893 electoral roll and there is only one 'Rambaum' so this may be her:
Rambaum, Dorothea Sophia Elizabeth, Mandeville, Domestic duties
Hope this helps.

Can you tell us more about the information on this page?
Not yet.
I gotta figure, who 'E. Rambaum' may be. I suspect, she would be the wife of William Rambaum. But then, the question still would be: Which one ?
Is there a way to come by to a full scan of the document ?
