Thank you Bill, Sue, Alistair and Marg for your responses This inquest is listed in the index on the state archive website as being 10 pages long for a female still-born child, Sydney. Possibly about an illegal burial of the infant. I have checked with the State Library from whom I can obtain a copy; they say the images, [hand written entries] are poor quality. Even going so far as to say they could not confirm if the person I was looking for appeared on a give page. It is my guess that due to the poor quality that ancestry has not copied the images onto their website yet. Or if their source is like the Ark Kit film, finishes at 1822 despite it saying it including 1823, 1824 & 1828 inquests. I find it frustrating that ancestry advertise the date as being part of the collection they have but as Sue and Marg have confirmed there are no entries in their index for this year on their site. Thank you Sue and Marg for checking the index for me.
