daughter of Nelson Digby Neave, of the Neave Baronets.


Debrett's 2019 says only that Nelson died "20__". He died 28 May 2004:

Nelson Digby Neave
Birth
7 Oct 1914
Death
28 May 2004 (aged 89)
Burial
Springvale Botanical Cemetery
Springvale, City of Greater Dandenong, Victoria, Australia
Plot
Jewish Memorial Cem., Garden 2, Row S, Grave 65

Debrett's lists Nelson's wife as "Betty Ross", who died 1998.

However, he is buried with:

Rebecca Neave
Birth
1 Nov 1910
Death
9 Sep 1998 (aged 87)
Burial
Springvale Botanical Cemetery
Springvale, City of Greater Dandenong, Victoria, Australia
Plot
Jewish Memorial Cem., Garden 2, Row S, Grave 65

Presumably Rebecca was Jewish, accounting for the Jewish Memorial Cemetery, and Marilyn Challinor's own Jewish funeral.
