Biography contributed by Katherine Blakeley

Maggie Walsh and her husband David were living at Helena St, Caversham in 1893 and 1896.

David Walsh, an ex-mounted constable, died at Helena St in 1902. He is buried in the Southern Cemetery, in the same grave as Margaret Smith, aged 74, who died on 30 November 1932.

A newspaper notice reads "wife of William Smith, 116 Main South Rd".

A marriage between William Smith and Margaret Walsh in 1903 appears to fit the above.
