Hello Jenny, Since there is no charge, if it was me, I'd order both, solve the problem, then put up my findings to the list. It is unusual to have two inquests on the same person, but it is possible, with an exhumation and re-discovery of some evidence (e.g. poison) not tested in the original inquest. However, it is most unusual. The first surmise is that there are two people involved. Now, I hope you will look into this and put me out of my misery... I love the unusual and apparent contradictions, and particularly if I can learn something that may be useful for others doing research. I love to drop little gems and examples into my guest speaker talks, and they help other people who might never have thought that "the different" was possible. Thanks in anticipation, Regards Ada At 20:13 08-10-03 +1000, Jenny Gray wrote: >Hi List, > >Just ordering some records online to view at PROV and have come across two >records with the same Title/Description number, the one I want is >VPRS28/POO20/323, but am wondering if I should also order the other (listed >below).

Gee Ada, I've got heaps of contradictions and mysteries I'd be happy to send you. <VBG> Just this week I discovered that the Certificate of Freedom I have for one of my convicts isn't. It's a TOL headed CoF, apparently. One official document says he died 1841, another 1849. BDMs don't say he died at all. <G> I have an ancestor called Ellen FITZGERALD (from BDM certificates, working backwards from me) daughter of John FITZGERALD who other people think is one Ellen AYMER/AMAR, convict. Because there is no marriage for Ellen F to the right man, but there is a marriage to Ellen A & a permission to marry. Then there's all the ones who were there one minute disappeared the next.... Sorry, your message really tickled my funny bone and I couldn't help myself. :-) Regards Pam An Aussie transplanted to Rotorua, NZ.

<<<I love the unusual and apparent contradictions, and particularly if I can learn something that may be useful for others doing research. I love to drop little gems and examples into my guest speaker talks,... >>>>> Indeed you do - I thoroughly enjoyed your talk last night at Blackburn. I may have to ask for your help in a couple of years when I have exhausted all avenues I can find for finding gg grandpa who seems at the moment to be about 175 years old and still going strong. My feeling is he eother died in a mining accident (checked the lists, not there)or more likely vanished -with some other woman maybe - and that fact brought on early labour as the last child was prem and died just one day old. Dad was NOT the informant on either that last ubirth or death which was unusal for that family. 5 years later gg gran dies in Melbourne hospital (they were at Daylesford 5 years ealier) and the death cert is all unknown even as to the married and children fields - just native of Cambridgeshire, almost correct age and length of time in colony, and the name. Died of cancer of womb and ovaries, poor lady - I nearly cried when I got her death cert.

Ada, I have found out why there were two records with the same item/description number. If there were two separate inquests held in the same year, one for a male and the other female, the same title/description numbers were used. When ordering the record online if you check the item description page it will display the gender....you will then know which one to order. I did view both inquests, one was male and the other female, one died in Huntly, the other in Castlemaine, but both in the same year.
