Could this Cecilia be the ghost who protects babies and small children and calls out the name “John”?

With such a tragic end to her life and with her murderer on the loose, is never finding her murderer,  the reason she has still not crossed over? 

I dont know but the search continues…… Which Cecilia Black haunts the house in Queanbean?
