Hi Dave I would like to thank you very much for your trouble, but I'm afraid that there was a mix up. I was trying to locate a Johannes Volk who disappeared around 1891 and not a William Reynolds.   It looks like William Reynolds belongs to Norman Archibald. Sorry about that, Tia ________________________________ From: Dave Evans <[email protected]> To: Tia McCombes <[email protected]>; [email protected] Sent: Friday, 23 January, 2009 8:56:32 AM Subject: Re: Victorian inquests Hi Tia, I know it is a long time ago you asked about people falling down mine shafts, but on re-reading your email I found I have the inquest number for William Reynolds. Reynolds, William. 1894/00/00. Killed. Ballarat District. Fall down mine shaft. Sebastopol. Inquest No. 1894/1352 Dave in Ballarat At 07:16 AM 1/07/2008, Tia McCombes wrote: > Well I never thought of inquests for people possibly falling down mine shafts!  Would there only be an inquest if they found the body? There I was last night having just sent an e-mail to a distant cousin about her ancestor who apparently disappeared one night after having had a bit of a drinking session at the local pub.  It was believed that he had fallen down a mine shaft and apparently a search had been instituted for him, but he was never found.  We were discussing newspapers etc as there doesn't appear to be a death record for him, then the very next post to the list was some one asking about Inquest record for somone who had fallen down a mine shaft.  It's a small world! As a long shot could some one do a look up in the inquest index for me for a Johannes Volk around 1891.
