DETECTIVE’S WIDOW IN THE ‘FORCE’
Tall, attractive Mrs. Madge Welby, said this week that she had joined the Police Force because she had always been interested in her dead husband‘s work.
Mrs. Welby is the widow of Detective-Constable E. S. (“Frank”) Welby, who died of heart trouble in March.
He had been attached to Regent Street Police Station for more than four years.
Mrs. Welby, who had just been sworn-in as a police-woman, said: “I felt I’d grown to belong to the Police Force, and I love children.
“My work in the police school lecturing section should give me the chance to satisfy both these interests.
“it will let me serve the community in the way I’d like best.”
Mrs. Welby said she had no children of her own, but “more than 30 nephews and nieces.”
Before her marriage she had worked as a machinist, she said.

Bernard Francis ‘Bud’ MORTON ( late RAAF – Warrant Officer / Flying Officer / Squadron Leader – 025983 ) – the first husband to Judith, was born 7 April 1931 and died on Monday 16 August 1993, aged 62. Bud is buried at Point Clare Cemetery: Lawn 7, Row 39, Plot 19.
Further research shows that Bernard was murdered, by sawn-off shotgun, at the The Grange Hotel, Wyoming, where he worked part time in the bottle shop.
Canberra Times (ACT : 1926 – 1995), Wednesday 18 August 1993, page 5
‘Callous’ murder
SYDNEY: The shooting death of an elderly bottle shop attendant on the NSW central coast on Monday has baffled and shocked police, who describe the shooting as “callous and senseless”.
The detective in charge of the investigation. Sergeant Pat O’Brien, said yesterday police did not know why 62-year-old Bernard Francis Morton, of Wyoming, was shot.
They believed the gunman’s main motive was robbery.
Mr Morton was shot once in his chest with a sawn-off shotgun at The Grange Hotel in Wyoming, where he worked part-time, about 5 pm.
He died soon after, despite desperate attempts by ambulance officers to revive him.
