Reverting to the revision #20. Reason: Descendents of the Vernon's have pointed out that Olive Maude Vernon, the daughter of Walter Liberty Vernon, the gov architect, was a career nurse and not an illustrator, and they have provided sources to verify this. There is an Olive Stella J. Vernon, who died in 1952 in Redfern, the daughter of Walter John L. and Evelyn Helen L., and it appears that the two have been conflated. Thus it is unclear who was the Olive Vernon whose drawings are part of the Mitchell Library's collection of Vernon family sketchbooks. - 27/02/2013 09:41 by fishel (moderator approved)

Family historian provided British census data and a SMH obituary about Olive Vernon, daughter of Walter Liberty Vernon, indicating that Olive Stella J. Vernon is a separate person from Olive Maude Vernon. Still uncertain about whether Olive Maude Vernon was in fact a sketcher/illustrator, i.e., whether Stella was in fact the artist. - 23/02/2013 14:12 by fishel (needs approval)
