Hello, i have recently found a connection to a Boland family who migrated to Melbourne from Westmeath Ireland some time before 1859 and would like to know how to obtain the full death record of someone whose death I located in the Australian death index on ancestry.com from 1861 and 1880. Also anyone who is connected to the John Boland / Catherine Cooney married in 1861 family in Oakleigh Melbourne. My Great Great grandfather Lawrence Boland of Troy NY was his brother. Thanks for any help offered. Best, Michael

Michael The index for Victorian BDM's is online and you can order a copy of the record for the death. Details of cost are on the site. https://online.justice.vic.gov.au/bdm/index-search?action=getHistIdxSearchCr iteriahttps://online.justice.vic.gov.au/bdm/index-search?action=getHistIdxSe archCriteria You could also try the National library Trove newspaper site in case there was a death/funeral or obit notice. http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper?q= Hope this helps.
