Year of birth
[edit]Various references have McMaugh's year of birth as either 1885 or 1891. In the article I consolidated to 1885 per the year which existed in the Early life section cited to FN 1 pittwater. The Australian War Memorial has an Embarkation Roll which lists her age as 32 at embarkation in 1917, which matches a birth year of 1885. This University of New England document on Appendix 2 p. 189 has dob "11 Mar 1885". This magazine on p. 91 also has 1885. I could not find a birth notice in Trove. If anyone can find something more authoritative for the 1891 year, pls swap all occurrences. JennyOz (talk) 04:14, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
