I have been given the following entry by a kind reader but it raises the question, why would both the place of death and the Registration Place both be shown as "Victoria" and not a town or city? Name: James TODD Death Place: Victoria Age: 53 Registration Year: 1879 Registration Place: Victoria Registration Number: 8712 Of course not having parents names shown will mean I cannot claim him but the question remains. Your thoughts please kind readers. Paul in Sydney

To find out the death place you will have to buy the cert.. quite easy, $17.50 on line, and once paid for on line it comes up straight away and you can print it off. You do have the option of getting it printed off and posted to you, but - easier, quicker to get it as a pdf or similar file. Exactly the same! http://online.justice.vic.gov.au/CA2574F700805DE7/HomePage?ReadForm&1=Home~& 2=~&3=~ takes you to the home page.. but I just google it as Vic bdm.. If you use the index it will cost you 99c per page - but you have the year and registration number o should not have to go that route.
