this one is on the date supplied in your email Jan, but I am confused by the 1910 mentioned in yr email also, do you mean she died in 1910?.

Thanks Judy, for your quick response. Does this mean that her family put a notice in the paper, but didn't register her death? The full notice says: BROWN. On the 8th November, at Beyer St, Norwood, of phthisis, Jean, beloved wife of Mr John Brown, after a protracted illness, aged 56 years. It was in the Register on 9th November 1871. With names like this, I have been searching for years for their deaths, and have eliminated many John Browns, and not found her at all. In the shipping lists, she is called Jane, but was clearly Jean in Scottish records, so I thought it was confusion of accents. I still think it might be her, knowing that informants often don't get ages right. If it is, her husband was living in Mt James, up past Beltana, and may not have been present at her death. There are records showing that she visited there in 1869. I wondered why she did not live there, but TB (phthisis) would explain that. So, it remains a mystery, but a possibility, unless anyone has any other ideas?
