The George Henderson mentioned by Dave seems to be the same George Henderson that appears in the indexes as dying in 1861 - aged 35 years - I'm guessing there is no way a person of about 55 years working on the gold fields would be mistaken for a 35 year old - more likely the other way around - so I expect this is not the fellow - I had a pretty thorough look at the Pioneer index and couldn't spot the fellow's death - I think what would be very useful would be the last date that he was known to be alive - is there some chance that he died shortly after the family arrived in Victoria? but that he didn't die in victoira - business or family required that he return to South Australia and he died there? remember that if he died in Victoira and he hadn't separated from his family then there is a very good chance that the people supplying information for his death certificate may have been his children or his wife - and they would possibly supply accurate details?? thankyou robert Dave Evans wrote: > Hello Beth, > I have the following on a George Henderson:-- > Henderson, George. 1862/00/00.
