Other information

Véronique-Renée to Sect, 21/9/20 p.22: 'As a French-woman I am under the jurisdiction of my nearest male relative until my marriage; I wish to be my own mistress.' Had considered returning to Franch until recently. Sister married and settled in Austr. and 'the prohibitive passage-rates charged these days preclude one from indulging even in dreams.'

Further comments

Investigative Branch Report, 12 Oct 1920: French mother also lived in Australia, as do siblings. She was married to a RUssian (the father? probably not as Statutory Declaration states father and mother both French). Mother claims whole family naturalised 18 years before but penciled that cannot be found.

1955 is her requesting a new certificate copy. They give the awarding from Jan 1921.
