The 'NSW State Library' (on-line) has an 'Ask a Librarian' service - they will check electoral rolls (past & present) and these newspaper notices for family names etc.
(we ALL have to be 'on the rolls')

Marie, Arthur Walter, Antonia, and Stanley Graham - all at 2 Addison Avenue in 1949:

Marie Dunham
in the Australia, Electoral Rolls, 1903-1980
Name: Marie Dunham
Gender: Female
Electoral Date: 1949

In 1930, Arthur Walter and Marie at 6 Arthur Street, Concord:

Marie Dunham
in the Australia, Electoral Rolls, 1903-1980
Name: Marie Dunham

So they must have emigrated between 1922 and 1930, though I don't see any record of that, so far.


According to several ER entries, Arthur was a special constable for many years.
