Looking for a cousin of Dame Nellie Melba

I am trying to trace the existence of a female cousin of Dame Nellie Melba whose surname was Thompson. She would have been a young woman in the 1920's amd possibly lived in Scotland in the Stirling or Glasgow area, or maybe in London. Does anyone know where I could find a family tree for Dame Nellie Melba? I'd be very grateful for any information.
