Biography

Known as Vina.

Upon the death of Lavina, her husband presumably brought their child, Francis William WARNE, back to Sandhurst, Victoria, where the little boy died at the age of 4 months in June 1898 (Death Registration 878/1898, Bendigo).

Lavina had three known younger siblings: Josiah Henry born 1879 (Birth Registration 11822/1879, Sandhurst); Joseph William born 1881 (Birth Registration 5433/1881, Sandhurst); Arthur John born 1884 (Birth Registration 20253/1884, Sandhurst).  Their parents were married in Victoria in 1877 (Marriage Registration 2948/1877).

Also in the Menzies Cemetery is a headstone to Will BERRYMAN, loved son of AW and A BERRYMAN, who died 18 May 1907, aged 27 years.  This is Vina's younger brother, Joseph William. 

Vina is buried in the Anglican portion of the Menzies Cemetery.
