To add to the inquest discussion, I have a death cert for a g g grandfather who died at Axedale 1884. The cert states there was an inquest into his death. This inquest also does not appear on my Vic inquest cd. It appears the index has many missing entries. Janine

they are possibly there and could be the spelling, not that I am arguing with you Janine because you may still be right and probably are. I have also found a lot of entices on the indexes in general missing. One of the problems with inquests too is that when the death is entered often there is no mention of who the parents are even if it is a young child. I find this with hospital deaths as well. But then again this could be a generalisation and just my thoughts.
