JM,

I would agree with you on that one, that JAMES is the correct surname. How do I go about checking on the death registrations for John JAMES at NSW BDM.

You just need to order it and pay for it online.   There's official transcription agents for NSW BDM and here is the RChat thread that gives you their contact details.

Yep,  I agree, there's often lively discussion on this board,  ;D and the regulars all seem to have our own resources and experiences with these, and it is rare for there to be duplications of info, and even rarer for problems to arise between us RChatters.

Cheers,  JM

You click the option "start searching" and then you select the option "deaths" and then you enter the surname as JAMES and the given name as JOHN and it is up to you which years you want to search across.

JM,

This may seem a stupid question but, I'll ask it anyway - are the names Jack and John used as the same, if that makes sense  :-\.

Yes, they can be.   And yes, they are also 'stand alone' names.   I have examples of both right throughout both the 19th and 20th century in NSW families.

I think similar variations occur in much of the English speaking world, even today.

I agree the certificate would give some info on the father. As I live in Scotland I'll need to figure out how to go about it.

You appear to have managed that okay previously when your ordered a transcription of William KENNEDY's death certificate in 2011. Why not just use the same agent if you were happy with their service  ???
