Hi all, I have a Marshall Minto (unusual enough name you would have thought) who I know was born in Durham, England in the Dec of 1851 (seen copy of listing), who married a Jane Dolan/Dowlan in 1877 in Victoria Reg 1877/4862, and who I BELIEVE died in Collingwood in 1920 Reg 1920/1268 and is definately buried in Kew Cemetery with Jane - all present and correct so far THEN I go to the Victorian Government Gazette site http://gazette.slv.vic gov.au/ just for the heck of it, because this line of the family is so hard to trace, and I find an insolvency notice for Marshall Minto for 16 Feb 1883 on page 347, and I think HOORAY, except it's for THE ESTATE OF MARSHALL MINTO, oh and it's at Ararat. Oh rats. Now Marshall's dad I THINK is Francis 1826 to 1916 also buried at Kew with HIS wife. SO what the heck. I check the BDM's for a death of a Marshall Minto at Ararat in 1883 or even 1882, and nope. Rats again. Any ideas? Yes I KNOW they could be related, but - why no death for the "other" Marshall Minto???? Sincerely Jo.

Hi Jo Not 100 % sure But I dont think its his death, he went bankrupt, found this,its a notice to people if he owed money to. Julie Insolvency means the inability to pay one's debts as they fall due. Usually used to refer to a business, insolvency refers to the inability of a company to pay off its debts. Business insolvency is defined in two different ways: Cash flow insolvency Unable to pay debts as they fall due. Balance sheet insolvency Having negative net assets – in other words, liabilities exceed assets. A business may be 'cash flow insolvent' but 'balance sheet solvent' if it holds illiquid assets, particularly against short term debt that it cannot immediately realise if called upon to do so. Conversely, a business can have negative net assets showing on its balance sheet but still be cash flow solvent if ongoing revenue is able to meet debt obligations, and thus avoid default – for instance, if it holds long term debt. Many large companies operate permanently in this state. Insolvency is not a synonym for bankruptcy, which is a determination of insolvency made by a court of law with resulting legal orders intended to resolve the insolvency. > Date: Tue, 12 Oct 2010 15:51:44 +1100 > From: joko@tadaust.org.au > To: AUSTRALIA-CEMETERIES-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [AUSTRALIA-CEMETERIES] 1 man 2 dates of death, a mystery > > Hi all, I have a Marshall Minto (unusual enough name you would have thought) > who I know was born in Durham, England in the Dec of 1851 (seen copy of > listing), who married a Jane Dolan/Dowlan in 1877 in Victoria Reg 1877/4862, > and who I BELIEVE died in Collingwood in 1920 Reg 1920/1268 and is > definately buried in Kew Cemetery with Jane - all present and correct so far > THEN I go to the Victorian Government Gazette site http://gazette.slv.vic > gov.au/ just for the heck of it, because this line of the family is so hard > to trace, and I find an insolvency notice for Marshall Minto for 16 Feb 1883 > on page 347, and I think HOORAY, except it's for THE ESTATE OF MARSHALL > MINTO, oh and it's at Ararat.
