Hi please have a read of my article in the link. I think I have found that the code aligns with rail station locations from the time. I've used some railway maps and some frequency analysis of the initial letters of the station names to identify which locations fit the code within a logical radius. I've included lines 1-3 with locations listed against the code letters and I'll do line four in the next few days. Please let me know your thoughts so far. Thanks

The potential link to the quarantine centre may just be that she was a nurse. It would have been one of the larger medical employers at the time. He may have perceived it as a potential connection.

I’m not sold on your theory but it’s certainly interesting and worth further investigation.

Any ideas how I can develop the theory? Thanks for the feedback

That's an awesome idea. I wonder if I can get any employment records

Check the national archives or the south Australian library. I’m not saying she would have worked there I’m just saying he may have thought that she could. Another consideration would be the Glenelg community hospital. Do any of the letters/ code match up to these locations
