Title: A Puzzle
Post by: clancam37 on Friday 30 May 25 02:41 BST (UK)
Have found an entry in Ancestry.com.au  styled  ----                                                                                   John in Australia, Death Index, 1787 - 1985.

 Then:     John

 Spouse: Mary

 Child: John D Campbell

No Surname given apart from that of the Child.  No Date or place of Death shown.

Can someone please help me find more information?
Regards

NSW death possibility?
Date of death 11/05/1910
5795/1910 John D CAMPBELL; Father-John; Mother-Mary; Kogarah

Not sure if this is the above?
SMH14 May 1910 https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/15120580
CAMPBELL.—May 11, 1910, John Duncan, dearly loved husband of Elizabeth Louise Campbell, aged 44 years. Maryborough (Victoria) papers please copy.

Thanks for your interest cupoflife.  Have attached the ancestry source.   Thought the death record would be of John rather than the child.  Sadly I may be wrong.

Ancestry uses this style often. 

The first two names (forenames only) are the parents, the death is of the person whose surname is shown - in this case, the death mentioned is that of John D Campbell, parents  John and Mary and is almost certainly that found by others on NSW BMDs.

It's useful for searching.
