Hello Jim, Royal park is an area of Melbourne that still exists, it has it's own station located near the Melb. Zoological gardens. It is bounded by Flemington Rd in the south and Park Street in the north. Royal Park Mental Home was located in this precinct, I had a dear Aunt who spent her last days in that institute. The suburb of Parkville lies just to the East betwen Royal Park and Carlton.

Thanks Barry. I'll look up a number of these homes in the archives or somewhere as I haven't been able to locate the death record either. He was still living in 1949. There's always a challenge in this field! Thanks for your assistance.
