Dear Greg, Have you been to State Records, Kingswood to see if they have the Inquest papers? That is where they would be stored currently, if they survived, and you indicate they did. See www.records.nsw.gov.au on Inquests (Archives in Brief No. 4 Have you checked the NSW BDM using only ghe given name and year of death as the surname name have been incorrectly transcribed? Did any of them leave a will? Probate Packets are also housed at Kingswood. Sometimes actual dates of death and correct spelling are found on the Probate Index. It helps everyone if you remove the footer of the previous messages. Sincerely,Bill > Below is the little detail known to me regarding JAMES > BALL--who is my G.
