Welcome Margaretrit.
I'm unable to locate a death for your Alice WISHART in Melbourne for the year 1961.
Was WISHART Alice's maiden or married name?
Not sure of maiden name. May have been Cecil. Death could have been a few days before or after.
Thanks Margaretrit.

Thanks for response. I have since received more info on my Great Grandmother. Her name was Mary Alice Davis and she was born in Bealiba, Victoria . Date unknown. She died 31st December 1961 (or there abouts) She was married to Robert Grey Wishart. Would like to go back further on the Davis family.
Thanks Margaretrit.
The CECIL surname sent me down the wrong track so lets try again with DAVIS.

The marriage for Jacob DAVIS and Mary Elizabeth YOUNG does not appear in the Victorian records. Will search the other Australian marriages during the day.
The birth certificate for Mary Alice DAVIS in 1867 should record the parents marriage details. If the birth was not registered by one of the parents it's also possible the marriage details may be wrong.
Hope this helps for now.
