Two years ago I wrote this post, Do you know Nellie Francisco?, which I will copy below.
at the end of the post I posed a question to which I now have an answer. Please read on....

Do you know Nellie Francisco?
Going through an old photo album with my Mother today we came cross this photo "That's Nellie Francisco, I was her bridesmaid", Mum said.
Knowing that the photo was taken in Cobar I had a look at the NSW Registry of Births Deaths & Marriages Online Historical Indexes. I put Francisco in the Brides Last Name at Marriage box, selected a date range of 1935 to 1945 and Cobar as the District where the event was registered. Here is what I found.
It appears that Nellie (Ellen Elizabeth) became Mrs Jack Richard Buckley in 1940.
Mum couldn't recall the name of the little flowergirl. I wonder who she was?

I go back to Trove every now and then to repeat my searches. As I had a few minutes to spare recently I popped the terms Elsie Duncan Cobar into the search box to see what new items I could find and I was rewarded with an answer to my question. The little girl's name is Melva Bourne. You can read all about the wedding in this report that I found on Trove.

This example demonstrates the value of redoing our Trove searches.
