MERRILL James Death notice 17MAR1943 Death 84 late of Penshurst SMH 18MAR1943

Three trees have year as 1870 but no place of birth. I'd say they have not seen age at death and assumed James was a neat one year older than spouse Sarah.

Looking for the birth of James and any details on his family.

Thanks,

Dave

... it does not matter because there is no second reel with details of his parents.

Not 1941 E/R Banks or Barton - that would fit for 1943 death in Penshurst, a southern Sydney suburb.

Very confusing because the registration district is St Peters which is an inner southern Sydney suburb - it's not the Church of St. Peter's that appears in the last column of the reg index entry.
