My name is Clem Lester. I live in Perth.
My mother’s Aunt (my great Aunt) lived in Boulder in the early 1900’s. Her name was Susan Beston (nee Wright) who was married to Stephen Beston (Mayor of Boulder 1915-1919) who I understand also owned a bakery and grocery store in Boulder. She was the sister of my maternal grandmother Maria Watt (nee Wright). At some time after my maternal grandfather (Percy Watt) died I believe my mother Catherine Agnes Watt (1904 -1996) and her sister Miriam Alice Watt (1902 -) came to live in Boulder with my great aunt and attended a school or convent in Kalgoorlie or Boulder. I am trying to find out more about my mother and her sister during the time they may have stayed with my great aunt and her husband.
Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

It says father of Fran. It should read Francis or Frank. Frank is still living in Kwinana.
