DEATHS
HOUSTON.-May 14, 1909, at her late residence, Macquarie-road, Auburn, Mary, relict of the late William Houston, in her 80th year.

Death 10553/1912 HOUSTON WILLIAM - WILLIAM - MARY - GRANVILLE * 23 Jul 1912

WILLIAM HOUSTON Age 83 - 23/07/1912 ? Zone A Presbyterian 03C 2183

That makes no sense.

William who died in 1912 is the son of William and Mary.

The cemetery record has the totally wrong date for William aged 83. He was buried on 2 Jun 1907 in the same grave as his wife Mary.
