Further comments

Doesn't really know any details about place of birth, ship to Australia, etc.

Dora marries a widower - unclear if listed children hers or step-children, or a combination

She does not receive a certificate of naturalisation - she is asked for information on her late husband's nationality (he is naturalised), and a further letter explains that because of her late husband's naturalisation she too is naturalised.
