Research Notes

Death registration not found - searched Victoria, Austraia Death Indexes Victoria Births Deaths and Marriages and no obituary found at Trove Newspaper Archive

The information relating to her death is what other researches have reported, but these appear to be unsourced Ancestry trees, and they may have assumed the death registration in 1854 is for her, when it is actually her 3 months old daughter.
