ASSISTANCE_RE._Annie_Maria_KIRBY_born_circa_1870-DEATH/MARRIAGE_DETAILS ???

I assume what you mean is the number is sequential within the region of the registration as in first to last.

In our case we talking about the district of 'Sydney'. Now the number is, '1413'. There were 48 people named Annie that died in 1889. The highest registered number for Annie in Sydney is, '2110'. I used the most common name I could think of in, John and search for the district of Sydney. I found a 131 people named John that died in 1889. The highest registered number for John in Sydney is, '2042'.

Now if I have understood Muss correctly this will mean that 1413 is about three quarters through the entries and assuming there was an equal flow of deaths this should mean for a September death ? However, this is an assumption and I NEVER like to make assumptions with genealogy.

Thanks so much for finding that !! I've saved that file. Appreciate you taking the time to look through Trove !

Odd that no mention is made of husband and children. It was obviously placed by the Parents/Grandparents but even then without some cause or effect no mention of the others in her life

Estrangement perhaps

Or maybe not the right death

hi

Great find  so not the correct mother for William and Alice

"...William's death cert. in 1942 and his marriage cert. both state mother unknown."

I wonder who raised William if he does not know mother's name....and he is ten when father marries 1897?

On his marriage certificate, what is his occupation...might suggest how long he was with father, who is what....bootmaker, blacksmith....difficult to read.

Who are witnesses on this marriage certificate please....might be family members?
