Thanks Geoff.

I've gone through all the Isabella in Ryerson and seems no match.

Perhaps they died in NZ. I have no clue either way.

Yes, pob NZ and 'usual residence' = Balmain.

ROSS . -June 26, at his residence, Waterloo-street, Balmain,
after a long and painful illness, James Ross, aged 52 years,
leaving a loving wife and family and a large circle of friends
to mourn their loss. New Zealand papers please copy.

Don't know if it is the right one.

There were some Isabella Ross in Ryerson with see ... = new surname= remarriage

??
1937/1889 WALKER WILLIAM - ROSS ISABELLA - BALMAIN

Not in Trove.

Oh!

Possibly why it only mentioned mother's house and not parent's house. Though no indication that father was dec.

I may have found an error in my tree.

Perhaps I have the wrong death for Elizabeth nee Ross. Ernest may have married twice.

Eva not Eliza/Elizabeth

1913 NSW Electoral Roll - CAMDEN - CANLEY VALE POLLING-PLACE
CHRISTOPHERSON Ernest, Canley Vale, labourer
CHRISTOPHERSON Eva, Canley Vale, domestic duties

Can't find a notice in Trove re 1896 death.

This does not fit at Rookwood.
