Thanks gibbo.

The family went from England to Victoria then NZ and then back to NSW.

Seems the age at death is 10 years out. Born NZ on the marriage should be accurate.

I spent the morning at the local library so I have lots of English census images.

 

[gibbo]

You need Sarah and James's deaths?

 

[DaveHam9]

I have the deaths and burials at Botany and funeral notices, thanks.

Only didn't find a death notice for James.

 

[DaveHam9]

They were easy to trace in shipping records.
