Something is not right. Thomas Jones married to Catherine. No son Alexander mentioned (d. 1940) ?

Only one death in 1923 in Newcastle region in the index.

NSW Birth JONES DANIEL 32125/1887 THOMAS - CATHERINE - LAMBTON

Sandgate Cemetery

Aged 63. Can't be the right one.

So the tree is wrong with the 1923 death.

 

[DaveHam9]

A death for Thomas assuming born 1836 is correct.

29x Thomas Jones in Sandgate cemetery. Plus unknown number of cremations at Beresfield.

Link in post #6 to the notice in Trove. The death reg has district of registration as Merewether but the notice has Glebe = a Sydney suburb.

Hard to know if he actually died in Glebe and death registered in Merewether or if 'Glebe' is just an error in the notice.
