Emily Harriet Bicknell, b. 7 Jan 1857, Raglan, Fiery Creek, Victoria, Australia , d. 2 Jun 1924, Glasgow, South Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand (Age 67 years) (Mother)Notes - Ethel was admitted to Lawrence School on 10 February 1890. her last day of attendance was 18 December 1891, destination Melbourne. I suspect that Ethel was taken to Melbourne by her mother Emily. There appear to be gaps in where Emily was living in New Zealand records at about this time.
An important factor may be the birth of Robert's son Robert McKeich McWhinney McKeich to Rebecca McWhinney on 16 May 1891 in Timaru.
Ethel was next admitted to Lawrence School on 20 March 1893 from Sale School, Victoria. Her last day of attendance was 19 August 1898. The reason for leaving school was recorded as "sickness".
